December 2017 Refreshers


The months of October and November were dedicated fully to my goal to catch up with all the Refresher suggestions published on Linda Farmer's website tanglepatterns.com. In all I drew 60 tiles. Not every one of those tiles came out to my satisfaction and there is/was the one or other I swore I would replace, e.g.: #88 in the second half of November, or #120 in the second half of October to mention but two. One day....!

Now here are the final refreshers to reach the goal... 11 in total:

December 1 - Refresher #136

I DID IT!!! I am actually UP-TO-DATE with all refreshers as per Dec 10th 2017...and have already mixed feelings about the success. For one I am happy the pressure of having to catch up is gone; on the other hand I already miss the pool of tangle combos I was able to choose from when my brain needed guidance. And so I can honestly say that I am already looking forward to refresher #169.



Finally! The second refresher of the month came out Just before the year ended and thus my December collection is complete.

December 30 - Refresher #169.

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Jem. I was happy when I learnt that one of the tangles is yours, Sati, in #159. I like it a lot and placed my "Sati training tile" for 159 into the next "Inspired by..." post. Wish you a splendid 2018.

    2. Yes, I spotted my Sati among your tiles. I can't wait to see what you do with it with further exploration. You always unpack a tangle with such unexpected and stunning results!

    3. Actually I copied your variations. Loved what you did with them and so I couldn't resist drawing them, too. Copycat. Talking about inspirational...

  2. Wow Susie, these last refreshers are even more beautiful than the ones, you made earlier, fantastic, I see more shadows, an absolute wonderful mix of colours and a very special way of drawing and connecting the tangles. Lovely work! Wish you a nice final evening in 2017 and a splendid beginning of 2018 with new challenges!!!

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely words, Ria. Maybe the refreshers weren't so much of a burden once I saw the light at the end of the tunnel? Yes, I am looking forward to the New Year and to all the new challenges I finally have time to do again. Meet you there! Happy and healthy 2018 to you and family as well.
