IAST 286, 287, 288; Botani 2019; 100DayProject 2019; Square One; Refresher 197, 199 and some more...

Facebook's Zentangle group Today's Tangle: Keep It Classic recently had the tangle Tripoli as a string prompt. In this tile I used Tripoli as both, the string and the filler.

Tangle Pattern: Tripoli in Tripoli string

Square One, a Facebook weekly prompt sponsor, featured the tangle Sonnenband for the week of March 29 to April 4th.

Tangle Pattern: Sonnenband

IAST challenge #286 with tangles Tunnelvizion (reminds my of Hypnotic), Mr. E, and Scape. For whatever reason this challenge didn't suit me somehow. (When you have a lousy tile, blame it on the challenge or the prompt provided. (Yessss!))

Tangle Patterns: Tunnelvizion, Mr. E, Scape

IAST challenge #287 - Easter egg string with tangles Hemp, Queen B, Henna Drum. I hope I was able to hide  my Easter egg well...

Tangle Patterns: Hemp, Queen B, Henna Drum

IAST challenge #288 with Tulipa, Javik, and Mooka a la Edgy style.

Tangle Patterns: Tulips, Javik, Mooka

And - of course - I am still working on the March Botani-Tangles 2019 tiles, listed here in no particular order. Well, as I draw them. There are days when you don't feel like drawing a spiky pattern, and the next you can hardly wait to get your chores done so you can draw spiky tangles. Anyway, no spikes on this - day 19-21 - tile. The tangles are Aura-Leah, Ying, Peace Out.

Tangle Patterns: Aura-Leah, Ying, Peace Out

Botani 2019 day 22-24 suggested to combine the tangles Pozer, Petals, and Oke and the result? A half friendly-looking, spout lipped Werewolf with blown cheeks!

Tangle Patterns: Pozer, Petals, Oke

Here are the spikes. Botani 2019 day 25-27 with Harvey, Krokus, Dooleedo.

Tangle Patterns: Harvey, Krokus, Dooleedo

Botani 2019 day 16-18 with tangles Auskelis, S-Rock, Andromeda

Tangle Patterns: Auskelis, S-Rock, Andromeda

BotaniTangles 2019 with day 31 and Mumsy. I combined Mumsy with the tangle suggestion by Tangle All Around April 6 Drip-Drop. Unfortunately, Drip Drop became the main actor, but it really is a dedicated to Mumsy scene.

Tangle Patterns: Mumsy, Drip-Drop

5 down, one more to go...(that was 2 days ago)

...and now I made it! Botani 2019's last tile, day 28-30 with tangles Trentwith, Ribbon rose, Jasmin. Huff, puff!

Tangle Patterns: Trentwith, Ribbon rose, Jasmin

Inspired by...Palrevo. I like geometric patterns and Palrevo in particular. So when the Facebook prompt for 100DayProject on April 11 suggested Palrevo, I jumped for it and made this extra and bigger tile for my running theme "Inspired by...".

Tangle Pattern: Palrevo

Refresher #197 with tangles Tagh, Frunky, Trella, 2V, Rainbow Bridge. Finally I had time to continue with this tile saga... Still 2 recently released refresher prompts on my desk.

Tangle Patterns: Tagh, Frunky, Trella, 2V, Rainbow Bridge

Refresher #199 (#198 still in production..) with tangles  Icanthis, Beebug, Camreap, Olluan, and Tint.

Tangle Patterns: Icanthis, Beebug, Camreap, Olluan, Tint

My 100DayProject titled...

*** 1Day1Tangle1Tile 2019 ***

100 days is longer than 3 months and 3 months feels like Mount Everest in the tangle world for me. Impossible to finish. I am still working on 1-month Zenuari and only just now finished March's Botani. So why oh why did I start this 100DayProject? The good news: with this challenge we decide the project and all its details, e.g.: landscape paiting, rug hooking, or cooking (all interest groups way outside my talents), so I stick to tangling, named my project "1Day1Tangle1Tile" with the tile measuring 6.4 cm square, and switched to "Positive Attitude".

So here we go...

April 2-5 with Garlic Cloves, Delys, Kitl, Chemystery

Tangle Patterns: Garlic Cloves, Delys, Kitl, Chemystery

April 6-9 with Viaduct, Narwal, Azteka. Gnarly

Tangle Patterns: Viaduct, Narwal, Azteka. Gnarly

April 10-13 with Laced, Palrevo, Brayd, Avreal.

Tangle Patterns: Laced, Palrevo, Brayd, Avreal

A Different Kind of Art

Before                    After

I like Photoshop and thus every once in a while I check out 'Art' done in PS. Sometimes the works are breathtakingly beautiful and at other times outright silly and all I can do is LOL. Click here to see some of these amazingly funny before and after masterpieces!

Animal Happy Day

...and they play together happily ever after!




New life in my hanging plant. Meanwhile they have already grown up and left their little fortress in my garden.

And I am ending my post with this picture. While you are chasing Easter eggs, she chases fish on her very own cat laptop. Happy Easter, everybody!
