The aim of this game is to use the tangle Exeter and maneuver it into the tanglepatterns.com string #165. When mine was finished I had a bit of trouble signing it. It looked wrong in the north/south position and it looked wrong in the south/north position. East/west and vice versa didn't even qualify for positioning. Hence I posted the same tile twice, and let you decided, which one looks right way up.
Patterns: Exeter, Toodles, Tipple
Upside down version
Animal Happy Day
Today my 'Animal Happy Day' is my 'Animal Lucky Day' or my 'Human Hero of the Day' Day and it is not a video, but a webpage link. Please watch how a selfless young man rescues his neighbor's dog while the house starts to collapse. (1.30).Click here.
And now something completely different
Could I have one tube of bathroom, one tube of bedroom, a tube of living room, and.....oh, of course, a kitchen tube, please. No kidding, this might well be our future hunt for living space and I love it!Click here.
You made a wonderful birthday present for Joey, Susie! I like the soft colouring with the blue highlights. I can not decide for a preferred direction, it is simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe living tubes are a very interesting idea. I could imagine to spend holidays in such a little 'flat'. I would prefer a tube in the nature or in a nice garden, but not crowded under a bridge in a big city. The future will show how this tubes will be used.
Thanks for commenting, Margarete, but you are no great help with the tile position problem. 🙁🙁🙁
DeleteYes, the tube living is certainly something that I could imagine myself doing. Of course, with lots of space around me...or I get a 'space tube' for my tubes.😛😛😛
One rule of the Zentangleart is that the drawing should be nice in all directions. I really can't manage that all the time but you give us here a wonderful example: this tile is always beautiful, even when you put it upside down.You managed also to give your personal flair on Exeter. I love it but also the gorgeous guy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ria. I think this happened because I kept turning the tile 180' depending on which half I was drawing. In the end I had 2 up-positions.
DeleteI like the tile best the first way, but I agree with Ria there is supposed to be no right side and even sideways I liked it! I'm addicted to watching all the Tiny house shows and keep thinking why can't we help the homeless with something like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trudi. I am so glad I have a first tile supporter. Blurred eyes see alike!
DeleteTube rooms, tiny houses...even shipping containers. Yes, great solutions I'd say.
This is gorgeous Susie! It works either way;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele.
DeleteVery beautiful! I love all the curves, and the blues are striking!! The first orientation is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. Blue is my fav color.
DeleteYour tiles are stunning,Susie. I like the first version better and the blue is great
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gudrun. Poll is definitely for 1st position. Am I glad I haven't lost my senses yet.
Deleteof course your work is stunning, as always. But your post is what inspired me to finish and post a challenge...first time in ages. Anyway, I love the organic flow of your tile, and I like the "upside down" one the best
ReplyDeleteOh Heidi, what a compliment. I am glad my post kicked you into Zentangle gear again. Looking forward to seeing your tiles and images of your fast growing grandboy. He is probably already dominating the household and practicing a tangle or 2 with your fav pen.
DeleteGorgeous work, I really love your style!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ilse.
DeleteWonderful artwork, dear Susie!! Both are gorgeous, my favorit is the upside down! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome and thanks for commenting on mine, Esther.
DeleteBeautiful Susie! Unfortunately I am with you - I also can not decide which way should be up, because both ways are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan, for being on my side!!! LOL. Usually I definitely know which side is up, but with this one I had doubt the very moment I signed it.
DeleteI agree with everyone's comments--since we don't know what was in your head when you drew these, we can look at them objectively and love them both ways.
ReplyDeleteAt the time there was not much in my head, M, to be honest. I just kept turning the tile as I was drawing and in the end I had forgotten where I started. It looks upside down north or south, but definitely a no go for east and west.
