Inktober 2019; Hump Day 15, 16, 17; Refresher 205

The theme for Hump Day #15 is Ribbons and Chains. The chain in the tile is obvious, but the ribbon got a bit small. It is that line-ish thing at the bottom. Just in case you were wondering. Except for 3D Printemps there is no known tangle in this tile.

Tangle Patterns: Chain links, a tiny ribbon and 3D Printemps

Hump Day #16 ran under the theme "It's Greek to Me". So I made this simple tile using 3D Printemps and Box Spirals and then...

Tangle Patterns: 3D Printemps, Box Spirals

...turned it into a quadruple in Photoshop. Now I like this one a lot better! I made some others, but this one is the most interesting.

Hump Day #17 is running under the theme Australia Inspired. There were a few things that jumped to mind the instant I read the theme:

- Steve Irwin with his world famous shout
- "Crickey!"
- Snakes and
- Australia's Indigenous Dot Art. 

I am/was a huge fan of Steve Irwin and I have to apologize to him and every Australian Indigenous Artist alive for producing such a mediocre tile representing them. Tangles I can name are: Printemps and Liuliu Dashun in the second snake.

Tangle Patterns: Printemps, LiuLiu Dashun

Refresher #205 with tangles Toodles, Danzer, 2A, 03, Heart Flower.

Tangle Patterns: Toodles, Danzer, 2A, 03, Heart Flower

...Inktober 2019 continues from previous post...

Blown Up

...with tile #7 that I call "Blown Up", leaning on the Jake Parker prompt Overgrown, Oct 14. And why 'overgrown' or 'blown up'? Because tiny delicate ribbon tangle Flip (on the left), filled with Yincut, is way too huge for its delicate original stepout. So the tangles used in this Oct 13-15 prompt tile are:

Oct 13 - YinCut (SJ)
Oct 14 - Peek-a- boo Daisy (TAA), Overgrown (JP)
Oct 15 - Flip (PC), Maryhill (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: YinCut, Peek-a-doo Daisy, Flip, Maryhill

PS: The purpose of the ball was to be filled with Iffy, but I forgot all about it. Sorry, Iffy!

Sakura

Inktober 2019 tile #8 is reserved to A-R-U-K-A-S, includes Diva Dance and a whiff of Printemps just to kill the large white space, and it runs under the theme "Sakura". Sakura is not a Jake Parker prompt, but Arukas, spelled backwards, reads Sakura. Also, I found this very ZEN appropriate alternative meaning for A-R-U-K-A-S. Although I am pretty sure this could be applied to almost every tangle name I still list it here:

A is for authentic, be real
R is for relax, you know how!
U is for understanding, you show for others.
K is for kindle, the warmth in others.
A is for accomplished, in all that you do.
S is for serene, your calm time.

Oct 14 - Arukas (SJ)
Oct 19 - Diva Dance (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: Arukas, Diva Dance

Unorganized

I call Inktober 2019 tile #9 "Unorganized" for Jake Parker's prompt "misfit" on day Oct 18. I just added tangles and filled tangles into tangles until I had all 3 tangles of every list from Oct 16-18 placed somewhere. So Misfit is pretty much the perfect theme.

Oct 16 - KaroFlo (PC), Ribbon Rose (TAA), Trentwith (SJ)
Oct 17 - Chimidle (TAA), MagzVine (PC), Dreamdex (SJ)
Oct 18 - Box Sprials (TAA), Sindoo (SJ), Folded (PC), Misfit (JP)

Tangle Patterns: KaroFlo, Ribbon Rose, Trentwith, Chimidle, MagzVine,

Dreamdex, Box Sprials, Sindoo, Folded

Grace

Inktober 20129 tile #10 - "Grace". I hate drawing zendalas, but sometimes you have to jump into the water to learn to swim (enough said). So here the prompts:

Oct 17 - Ornament (JP)
Oct 19 - Zett-Heart (PC)
Oct 20 - Accolade (PC), Antidots (SJ)
Oct 21 - Batumber (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: Zett-Heart, Accolade, Antidots, Batumber

BOO-oooooh!

Tile #11 is attributed to this year's Halloween (albeit still a few days early) using Jake Parker's Oct 22 prompt ghost...and aptly themed it: "BOO-oooooh!" (spot the ghost if you can). Inktober 2019 prompts used are:

Oct 22 - Abundies (SJ), Ghost (JP)
Oct 23 - Pixioze (SJ)
Oct 24 - Baton (SJ), Hatflox (PC), Yale (TAA)

Tangle Patterns: Abundies, Pixioze, Baton, Hatflox, Yale

Tic-Tac-Toe

Tile #12 - Wonky grid. That is what I instantly thought of when I first saw the Oct 23 prompt Des-Ti-Ney on the pattern collection list. So I made a monotile and called it: "Tic-Tac-Toe" referring to Jake Parker's Oct 30 prompt: Catch. Now, that was easy.

Oct 23 - Des-Ti-Ney (PC)
Oct 30 - Catch (JP)

Tangle Patterns: Des-Ti-Ney

Inky

Inktober 2019 tile #13. I call it "Inky" according to Jake Parker's Oct 26th prompt 'dark'. It wasn't easy to fill in all those black spaces. Microns just don't work well on watercolor distressed paper and easily get destroyed. Luckily I have a lot of old, scratchy pens which I keep for cases just like these. Prompts and days for this tile are:

Oct 25 - Tripoli (SJ)
Oct 26 - Your Call (TAA), Ratoon (SJ), dark (JP)
Oct 27 - Egyptian Wave (PC), Crescent Moon (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: Tripoli, Your Call, Ratoon, Egyptian Wave, Crescent Moon

Turkish Delight

Inktober 2019 tile #14 is running under the theme "Turkish Delight" in reference to Jake Parker's Oct 7th prompt "Enchanted. Maybe a bit far fetched but if you think of Turkish Delight as a flower... The new pattern is in one of the leaves, I just can't decided which of the two, but not Kuke. Or maybe I should have picked a 'new pattern' PC just published?

Oct 7 - Enchanted (JP)
Oct 28 - New Pattern (PC), Well Well Who (SJ)
Oct 29 - Zonked (TAA), Kuke (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: Well Well Who, Zonked, Kuke

Feral

#15 is an afterthought, October days potpourri Inktober 2019 tile running under the name "Feral" according to Jake Parker's Oct 16th prompt 'wild'. I needed to get October 31st in to round up the month and thus picked just about any day to fill the tile. Although, coming to think of it, a Florz monotile wouldn't have been such a bad idea at all. Potpourri days are:

Oct 16 - wild (JP)
Oct 22 - O-Hooks (PC)
Oct 23 - Raphael (TAA)
Oct 25 - Striping (PC)
Oct 27 - Golden (TAA)
Oct 31 - Florz (SJ)

Tangle Patterns: O-Hooks, Raphael, Striping, Golden, Florz

Collapse

I still had time to finish one more Inktober 2019 tile, my 16th, while still in the month of October. I chose the tangle Pezino (TAA Oct 5th) and the prompt 'build' from the Jake Parker list on the same day and drew a monotile I themed "Collapse".

If October doesn't transform into November soon, I might be tempted to draw yet another tile....Yes, I just might be! (written Oct 28).

Oct 5 - Pezino (TAA), Build (JP)

Tangle Patterns: Pexino

...and thus Inktober 2019 has reached its end. I admit, it has been a bit sticky going at times, but now that it is over I am already looking forward to next year's Inktober challenges. How many unofficial lists will we have then?

Animal Happy Days

...and the animals rescued are...

A huge thank you to everyone visiting my site.
