Tangle Patterns: Soluna, Lollywimple
And here we are at Hump Day #14 - Clouds. The other day while jogging at the beach (I jog or walk almost daily at the beach) I came across the most beautiful dramatic sunset. However, I didn't have my phone with me. So the next day I made sure it was in my pocket, but of course, it wasn't the same. Still, I took this shot which became the base for my HD 14 tile. I am in no doubt you can clearly see the similarity. The tangles used in the adaptation are Pop-Cloud, Msst, and Sea Wave.
Tangle Patterns: Pop-Cloud, Msst, Sea Wave
...and here when it was Photoshop raining.🌧

---------------------------------------------
Jake Parker's (JP),
Stephanie Jennifer's (SJ),
Tangle All Around's (TAA) in Facebook, and last but not least
Pattern Collection's (PC).
I will combine the lists and pick prompts from up to 3 days and give them a theme (giving a theme turned out to be the real challenge here). So this, my first Inktober 2019 tile, sports the following tangles under the theme....
Dreamcatcher
Oct 1 - Ring (JP) for "Dreamcatcher"; Printemps (SJ); Baubles (TAA)Oct 2 - Line Dance (TAA); TunnelVizion (SJ)
Oct 3 - Lada (PC); Toodles (SJ)
Tangle Patterns: Printemps, Baubles, Line Dance, TunnelVizion, Lada, Toodles
Frozen 2
My Inktober's 2nd tile I aptly call "Frozen 2" (just like the cartoon movie) according to JP's prompt Oct 4 Freeze. I know, this is INK (!) tober, but...there is always a but, I just can't think of a good excuse right now. Anyway, I populated the "Frozen 2" tile with below mentioned tangles and added some snowflakes and icicles. Not proud of it, but it IS a tile!!!Oct 4 - Freeze (JP) for "Frozen 2"; Snow Flower (PC); Zonked (SJ)
Oct 5 - Jalousie (SJ)
Oct 6 - Flukes (SJ)
Tangle Patterns: Snow Flower, Zonked, Jalousie, Flukes
Mutualism
My Inktober's 3rd tile I call "Mutualism" loosely interpreted by JP's Oct 2 prompt "Bait". Imagine the Bud Heads are aquatic Venus Flytraps and they live in a symbiotic relationship with Paradox where Paradox is their rooting bed and Bud Head 1 lures in Tipple parasites as food for Paradox. Well, that is what I was thinking of when I remembered the symbiotic relationship of clownfish and sea anemones. I added (Sea)Ur-chen to give the scene a more credible underwater feel.Oct 2 - Bait (JP) for "Mutualism"
Oct 4 - Paradox (PC)
Oct 5 - Bud Head 1 (PC)
Oct 6 - Ur-chen (PC)
Tangle Patterns: Paradox, Bud Head 1, Ur-chen (PC)
Swing Low...
Inktober tile #4. I didn't have to think twice about which of JP prompts I should choose for the theme: "swing"! Anytime. Swing for "Swing Low...". 'Turn me Loose and let me Swing Swing' would have been a better choice, but it was just way too long. So here we go, the prompts:Oct 7 - I'am Watching You (PC)
Oct 8 - Praa (TAA); Bales (SJ)
Oct 9 - MySwing (TAA); Lola (SJ); Wrapping (PC); Swing (JP)
Tangle Patterns: I'am Watching You, Praa, Bales, MySwing, Lola, Wrapping
Ornamented
Inktober tile #5 I dedicate entirely to Jake Parker's Oct 10th prompt he listed as "Pattern". And "Ornamented" it is. That is the tile is ornamented. I was inspired to this pattern after I joined the Pattern Collection's Designer Group. I was told by Ina Sonnenmoser to start with lesson 1, creating a ribbon pattern. Half-heatedly I wired my brain cells to a pattern designer mood and came up with this. And yes, it can be used as a ribbon. Now all that is left is to make it a ribbon and send it in to Ina S. (Maybe she will slap my wrist again.) 😱Oct 10 - Pattern (JP)
Tangle Patterns: My - yet - unnamed ribbon tangle
Drogon
My #6 tile for Inktober 2019 is more of a flower power tile than a nasty "Drogon", the theme I took from Jake Parker's list for day 12. The "Drogon" theme needs no explanation though. Anyone who watched Game of Thrones is familiar with Daenerys' pets.Oct 10 - Windmill (TAA) (Hiroko Matsuo/Ina Sonnenmoser), Cubine (SJ)
Oct 11 - Victorian Flake (TAA), InaFlux (SJ), X's and O's (PC)
Oct 12 - Floo (SJ), Dragonfly (TAA), Dragon (JP)
Tangle Patterns: Windmill, Cubine, Victorian Flake, InaFlux, X's and O's, Floo, Dragonfly, Dragon
...and then I had to digitally color it a bit.

Now for the real Fun...
Language Evolution
Evolution? Really?!You can Make it an Animal Happy Day
Viktor Larkhill of the Spanish animal rescue "Let's Adopt" is on a new mission as we speak. Spain experienced tremendous rainfall in the south causing unbelievable damage. Suffering are also Animal Shelters. If you have a heart for animals please watch the video and if you can afford it...click on the youtube link where you will find a support link in the description below the video.Animal Happy Day
When I came across this video I knew I had to put it into my post. Swimming with wild dolphins in open water was always a dream of mine (I used to be a PADI scuba diving instructor for 11 years). The closest I came was at the end of a scuba dive in the Maldives. I was waiting to be assisted out of the water when I heard people on the boat shout "Dolphins! Dolphins!". Still in my gear I ducked under and - indeed - watched a whole pod passing by the boat. I was elated and excited, punched the water to get their attention while sucking air from my regulator like mad... and then they were gone as quickly as they came. Not one - NOT ONE! - had looked in my direction to flip a hello, let alone show a sign of noticing me. (One of my other dreams: hanging on to a whale shark's mouth to find out what I can see on the inside, however, did turn real while fun diving off Similan Islands (Thailand).)...and a last quiz: What kind of baby animal is this?
