My new Tangle Mock I.Am, DIVA 384, IAST 280; Square One; Refresher 194, 195, and a Valentine tile

My new Tangle 

Mock I.AM

Tangle Pattern: Mock I.Am in a wonky grid

My "I.Am" tangle series is growing; "Mock" has joined the family. I introduced Mock I.Am on my blog the first time with my Zenuari 2019 tile for day 9 "New to me Tangles" (left). I guess I took the theme of the day a bit too literal (something I seem to do only too often) and sat down to actually produce a new tangle. I am a bit slow at drawing step outs and even slower at drawing sample tiles as I prefer to work on challenges, but I was finally able to kill that inner lazy me and officially introduce "Mock I.Am" to the world (LOL, how I love to dramatize things).



The first tile (under the title) is Mock I.Am in a wonky grid. The tile below shows Mock I.Am in ribbons with a Mock I.Am bug up in the corner.

Tangle Pattern: Mock I.Am ribbons and Mock I.Am bug

I love to place tangles into leaves or petals, so Mock I.Am had to undergo the same treatment. The other tangles are Sunflower, Sinko, and Columbine.

Tangle Patterns: Mock I.Am as leaves with Sunflower, Sinko, Columbine

Here are two tiles that look the same. I so desperately wanted to make a star or Zendala tile. I came up with three tiles in total. One, the first, went straight onto my pile of rejects (thanks to Anita Aspfors Westin inspirational blog "Oops" it will (hopefully, eventually, maybe) be remodeled on a later date), the second and third outputs still didn't hit the nail on the head so I decided to stop wasting time on this rather stupid idea (but they count as samples!!!) and just post them. On the green tile the D's are big as per pattern and in the other the D's are small and look like bow ties.

Tangle Pattern: Mock I.Am with big or normal D's

....and of course, I had to do a bookmark with Mock I.Am. Here the D's turned into leaves.

Tangle Pattern: Mock I.Am

The basic Mock I.Am exists of lines, diamond shapes, D's and D's mirrored, V's, and commas. That's it. So here the step out:

Facebook's Square One February 15 - February 21, 2019: Flydance. I looked at the stepout of flydance and was instantly in love with it. Thanks, Annett Ruempler.

IAST challenge #280 with tangles Mi2, Cat-Kin, Opus.

Tangle Patterns: Mi2, Cat-Kin, Opus

DIVA's Weekly Challenge #384: "UMT - Anthem by Jody Genovese, CZT". I like this tangle, seriously!

Tangle Patterns: Anthem, Damsel Leaf

Refresher #195 with tangles Rixty, Floose, TreFoil, Zati, and SoDeceiving. Count-down towards 200: 2 1/2 months to go.

Tangle Patterns: Rixty, Floose, TreFoil, Zati, SoDeceiving

Refresher #194 with tangles Snail, Flec, Iriemon, Satsu, Faux Weave. After finishing tile 1 I had to change the Faux Weave and Iriemon trail. I had to take these tangles out of their grid. Okay, maybe Iriemon in the newer tile in the leaves looks more like Betweed, but I used the suggested 3rd variation version by changing step 2 to / \.

Tangle Patterns: Snail, Flec, Iriemon, Satsu, Faux Weave

ValenTangle 2019 had Love Fragment sort of as the feature tangle for the 2 weeks leading up to Valentine's Day Feb 14th. Not a particular 'hearts' tangler I decided to do ONE tile and one only with this fragment and for the occasion.

Tangle Pattern: Love Fragment

DIVA 381, 382, 383; IAST 277, 278; Square One; Zenuari19; Keep It Classic

Square One. I missed out on the last 3 SO temptations, so I had to combine them simply to be able to catch up. Life in the Zentangle fast lane is overtaking me lighting fast, making my head spin. I can't blame anybody. I love these challenges, temptations, inspirations, call it whatever you want and my fingers itch to do them all! Tangles: Zwieblbee from January 4th, CalligraV, January 11th, and Zenith from January 18th 2019.

Tangle Patterns: Zwieblbee, CaligraV, Zenith

Square One week of  January 25 - 31 featuring Andante.

Tangle Patterns: Andante, Molygon

DIVA challenge #381 sporting the theme: A Happy (new) Medium, meaning a new pen or paper. I didn't have anything new really, so I dismissed the challenge not thinking twice about it. Then yesterday I had to highlight a text and went to buy a highlighter. I ended up buying 4 different colors (blue, pink, green and yellow) as it dawned on me that I could use one or all of them for the DIVA challenge.

Tangle Patterns: Damsel Leaf

DIVA challenge #382 with theme "Stripes". Drawn on green notepaper I used the tangles Aurabedd, Bravo, Betwinkle, DropRow, Dazzly.

Tangle Patterns: Aurabedd, Bravo, Betwinkle, DropRow, Dazzly

Zenuari 2019 - day 12: "Grid tangles only" with tangles Side-eye, Betwix'd, N, Florz, Knightsbridge, Insydeout, DL-Labyrinth and a bit of Pop-Cloud to fill the corners and to cover the sun. I know Pop-Cloud is not a grid tangle, but I didn't put it into the grid, so....tssss!

Tangle Patterns: Side-eye, Betwix'd, N, Florz, Knightsbridge,

Insydeout, DL-Labyrinth and a bit of Pop-Cloud

Zenuari 2019 - day 10: Nametangles. My name is Susie hence I chose tangles starting with the letter S such as Sindoo, Stonestory, Stem Topper, and Spikor3.

Tangle Patterns: Sindoo, Stonestory, Stem Topper, and Spikor3

Zenuari 2019 - day 15: Donut with Phicops paper holder to not get your fingers sticky, The Fab, and a paper napkin for the mess.

Tangle Patterns: Phicops, The Fab, and a napkin

Paradox or Gourdgeous? Optical Illusion?

Zenuari 2019 - day 22: I took a huge leap towards the front of the end with day 22: Optical Illusions. I was certain I was going to skip this challenge, but then I did my first tile for Today'sTangles: Keeping it Classic (TTKICPrompt012119) from Jan 22 with the versatile tangle Paradox on green notepaper (duh, me, this invalidated it for the TTKIC challenge). However, after I finished the tile I noticed Paradox had turned into Gourdgeous! Ha! Thus I drew a second tile, this time on white paper (!) for TTKIC andthe green one got reassigned to Zenuari day 22. 2 hits with one prompt!

They have both the same string, but while the green has the original challenge string drawn with straight lines the string lines of the while tile are wavy.

Tangle Pattern: Paradox with illusion of Gourdgeous

Apropos Optical Illusion. I found this "Extreme Confusion Reading Optical Illusion" on the net which I found quite amusing and wanted to share with you. Enjoy.



Zenuari 2019 - day 20: Maze. I made it. Another Zenuari day I was sure to skip because, honestly, Maze? Then Crabeye jumped to mind, the tangle that reminded me of my childhood when we played with the round handheld labyrinth containing 3 little marbles. I strongly believe Crabeye has the wrong name, it should be Maze.

Tangle Pattern: Crabeye

Animal Happy Day

Maybe ditching that bacon forever after watching this "Happy ever After" video?
