June 24 - Chinar

Tangle Pattern: Chinar

Tangle Pattern: Aiposaat

July 8 - Alibi. To me this tangle looks like Aladdin's Magic Lamp and to remind me which side is up and down I marked the down with an elevated dot.

Tangle Pattern: Alibi

July 15 - Mysticle. I like to play around with tangles, mostly to try out how they look if I change them slightly this way or the other. In rare cases I change them because I do not like the way they look...and thus: may I introduce my leafy Mysticle.

Tangle Pattern: Mysticle

Zen Gulf Cafe Monotangle Mondays

International Day of Zentangle IDOZ 2025 and Prompt #6 of 2025 Journal Project

Coofia, a tangle I wasn't friendly with at first. However, as I always say, if I have two left hands with a tangle (I am right-handed), take it for what it is: a REAL challenge. So here goes the Coofia development:

My first attempt:

Tangle Pattern: Coofia

Coofia. Getting a bit more questionable, but here and there still recognizable.

Tangle Pattern: Coofia

Coofia. OK - I can safely call this a Coofia tangleation or a Coofia well hidden.

Tangle Pattern: Coffia

Another sort-of Coofia. If the tangle is not obvious, blame it on Pokeroot, Flux, and Sez. 

Tangle Patterns: Coofia, Pokeroot, Flux, Sez

The iron grip Coofia has on me continues...

Tangle Pattern: Coofia

Coofia, simple and netty with some Sand Swirls and a ginkgo leaf (the ginkgo leaf for contrast😊 ). 

Tangle Patterns: Coofia, Sand Swirl, Ginkgo

Last but not least a flapping Coofia fluttering to I don't know where.

Tangle Pattern: Coofia

In the end, and all in all, I have to say that as more as I drew Coofia as more I liked it. We are still not BBFs, but hey, publish another Coofia challenge and I am in.  

Refreshers

Refresher #273 with tangles Foundabout, Nanalee, Pathway, Ponytail, and Swerve published June 13, 2025.

Tangle Patterns: Foundabout, Nanalee, Pathway, Ponytail, Swerve

Time to Kill

July's brainteasers. Solutions are added to the bottom of the page in tiny font so you, too, can figure out those clues before unintentionally reading them. 

Animal Happy Day

You have to ask yourself...does he take showers by himself as well? It is no wonder he is called the smartest dog ever!

We had a rainy day a few days ago and that is when my wandering cats realize that this is still the best place to be - HOME. If I had three cats I bet the third would be stretched out on the hammock. 

Greetings from CO, Coal and me
(chair level, ground level and out-of-the-frame level)

and thanks for visiting.

June 16 - Festune

Tangle Pattern: Festune

June 23 - Gourdgeous.

Tangle Pattern: Gourdgeous

April 21 - Waybop. I disgarded and then completely forgot about this latecomer tile and the reason is obvious. Today, during my tile cleanup it fell in my hands again and since I was doing the "cleanup" I added the 3 missing fillers, some shading and highlights and voila, another prompt in this Monotangle Mondays series "is - at least - finished". Maybe one day I look at it and find something I can actually like.

Tangle Pattern: Waybop

7F5R Tuesday Tangle of the Day

May 20 - Wob. When I don't have an idea what to do with a certai tangle, I think about it on my daily exercise walks. Out in the open, away from pen and paper the fog suddenly clears and an idea is formed. Wob is such a case, but it took quite a few daily walks. 

Tangle Pattern: Wob

June 3 - Verdigogh, drawn with watercolor pencils.

Tangle Pattern: Verdigogh

Autangle's Bi-Monthly OrgTangle 2024

May 31 - Na-Hua, twice again, because I didn't like the first tile, the yellow one. However, the next day looking at it I liked it a bit more and so it made it into this post.

June's brainteasers. Solutions are added to the bottom of the page in tiny font so you, too, can figure out those clues before unintentionally reading them. 

Animal Happy Day

Harmony, total harmony and love between these different kind of animals. I wished this video showed my two cats Coal and CO, but alas, that is literallywishful thinking. Maybe I have to rename them to Iran and Israel. The only problem: I don't know which of them would be which. 🤔

Last month I decided I will publish a post every last day of the month...IF (capital IF) I have at least 10 tiles to show.. I know this will not always be possible (e.g.: no 10 tiles, last prompt on last day of a month challenge, etc). Am I already looking for excuses? Anyway, June is ready to go...

Thank you so much for visiting
and have a splendid July!

Solutions to June's Brainteasers

1 - Look me in the eye

2 - Electric blanket

3 - Banknote

4 - One foot in the door

5 - Bookcase

6 - Five kilograms overweight

The 12 Days of AusTangles 2025

This is the first time I heard of AusTangles, drawing tangles that have been deconstracted/authored by Australians, and this year it ran under the motto 12 Days of .AusTangles from April 19 - 30, 2025. I found this challenge through an interesting website called ArtsAmuse that has 'a list of Zentangle challenges, creative prompts and other interesting or fun challenges to help you with your creative practice'.

Autangle's Bi-Monthly Org[anic]Tangle 2024 3rd Series

2024. Yes. It's no mistake. The 3rd Series started in 2024 and that year is carried into 2025. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it. Go figure.

My New Tangle Cre-A-Top...and maybe a Fragment?

Cre-A-Top Step out

Tangle Pattern: Cre-A-Top

I got inspired by the decor on an ink pen tip and turned it into a new Fragment. But maybe the fragment already exists...I wouldn't be surprised. Until I get corrected I will call this Triangle fragment FT-Z011

Tangle Fragment: FT-z011

Time to Kill

May's brainteasers, honestly, is either rather demanding or my brain turned to mush. I got 3 out of 6 (4 easy, 2 and 6 after some tries), but should have known 1 and 3 as well - especially three because of the news. 5? Hmm, no, I was never even close with my guesses. Solutions are added to the bottom of the page in tiny font so you, too, can figure out those clues before accidental reading them. 

Animal Happy Day

It is heartwarming when shy, neglected dogs come out of their shells and show they found love and care. This is the story of Shadow...

This is it for the month of May 2025. CO agrees, all is done and a nap is in order. Coal is still around, too. Mostly curling up on my drawings demanding to be stroked.

Thank you very much for visiting my post.
Greetings from Thailand

Solutions to above May's brainteasers:

1 – Raincheck

2 – I’m bigger than you

3 – Illegal (ill eagle)

4 – Double agent

5 – Rock n roll

6 – Good afternoon
