DIVA 371, IAST 264, and many Inktober18

This week is my RED OCTOBER theme week. Pen colors are limited to black, white, red and graphite, but tiles can be in any color.

Why Red October you may ask. Simple. a) it is October and b) I have 3 red pens, 01, 02, and 08 that I bought more than a year ago and practically never used. So before they dry out... à RED OCTOBER.

Let's start with Inktober in the Red October week. I had to catch up and once I was into it, I just kept going. Day 4 - Facets (another tangle I turned into flowers); day 9 - Fe-Ba, day 10 - SeZ.

DIVA challenge #371 with.... drums....drums...drums....

Onion Drops!!! October must be Onion Drops season. But me not being lazy, I kept on drawing Onion Drops and, if needed, keep drawing Onion Drops till I drop.

Tangle Pattern: Onion Drops

Finally, and to round up my RED OCTOBER week , my "1-Hell-of-a-Challenge" IAST challenge #264. I will never understand how my brain works. 3 tangles to my liking and I end up struggling 4 days to produce a tile. The tangles just wouldn't talk to me. Every day I tried my magic on them and every day ended its cycle without a IAST tile. Then today, Sunday, came along (why is it always Sunday with IAST?). I didn't overthink the task at hand, just knew I had to draw a tile for Adele - albeit only for my website. WOW! In less then 5 minutes I had it worked out. Can brains get stuck? Yes! Definitely YES! Hence the "1-Hell-of-a-Challenge".

Tangle Patterns: Iza, B-Leaf, Heartswell

Other Art

Giant 3D Insects

Impressive these huge alien insects on walls. This would be a 'Mission Impossible' for me even as miniatures on a mini Zentangle tile. Click here to see more of these charming beauties.

Animal Happy Day

It is pumpkin season. Thus this cute pitty video about how "Pumpkin" survived to become "Pumpkin" is fitting the season.

Have a splendid week U'all!
