It's that time of year again....INKTOBER. It is the 3rd time I participate on
this challenge. 31 days, 31 prompts...eh, no. Not quite. This challenge has
grown roots and nowadays several lists are published by tanglers.
The prompt lists are...
1.
The Jake Parker (jp) Inktober 2020 list. He is the founder of this challenge and his prompts for the days can by
anything you can spell.
2.
The Stephanie Jennifer (sj) Inktober Tangles 2020 list. She is a tangler from my area, Singapore, and her listing comprises of
tangle names.
3.
The Tangle All Around (taa) Octangling 2020 list. This is a Zentangle FB group
4.
The Pattern-Collection (pc) list. I think they call the list New-Tober. Pattern Collection, as its name
tells, is also a very good source for tangle stepouts.
5. And last but not least the
Silke Wagner (sw) TangleTober 2020 list. Her prompts are similar to Jake Parkers.
Day 1 - Fish (jp), Flux (sj), and Jester (taa).
Tangle Patterns: Jester, Flux - Fish
Day 2 - Wisp (jp), Jackstripes (sj), Snelly (taa), Ondalina (pc)
Tangle Patterns: Jackstripes, Snelly, Ondalina - Wisp
Day 3 - Bulky (jp), Anthem (sj), Siri (taa), Pianorondo (pc). You maybe be wondering where the 'Bulky' comes in. Well, the black Anthems. Don't they look a bit 'bulky'. Anyway, as my German tangler friend would say: it is what it is.

Day 6 - Henna Drum (sj), Brandywine (taa), Katerpy (pc)...and sadly no Rodent
(jp) and no Root (sw).
Day 7 - Doodah (sj), Twisted Corners (taa), TingTing (pc) and a bit of
(TingTing) Fancy (jp).
I posted this tile on Facebook and it was amazing how many different things
tanglers saw in the illustration. I see a Fish! And a Squid! I
see an Elephant! Reminds me of
Salvador Dali's "Persistence of Memory", the
melting clock faces. I see people dancing the tango... Nothing
was intended and everything I can see, too. Can you?
Tangle Patterns: Doodah, Twisted Corners, TingTing - Fancy
Day 8 - Amarin (sj), Divi (taa), Celtik Around (pc) and there are 3 teeth
(jp) somewhere on the tile, too.
Day 9 - Fugu (sj), Garlic Cloves (taa), Tong (pc), Cylinder (sw).
Day 10 - Cadent (sj), Elbe (taa), Kiss (pc), Nose (sw from Day 11).
Day 11 - Divi (sj), Starfish-Too (taa), Maize (pc), Boat (sw from Day
10)
Tangle Patterns: Divi, Starfish-Too, Maize - Boat
Day 12 - Bosch (sj), OyBay (taa), Dolmania (pc), Rose (sw). I am in the
cellar looking for my mojo, it certainly is not in the attic. Yes, my
creativity has dropped into a black hole probably.
Day 13 - Waybop (sj), Borbz (taa), Florious (pc). Here I follow the KISS method, Keep It Simple, Stupid. In any case, this, for me, is a real Zentangle classic tile. {...and still no mojo}
Day 14 - Iugo (sj), Beauchamp (taa), Rota Mirrored (pc), Musically
(sw).
Tangle Patterns: Iugo, Beauchamp, Rota Mirrored - Musically
Day 15 - Monotangle tile with Abukas (sj).
Day 15 - Abukas (sj), RunCC (taa), Motif (pc), Musically (sw)
And here my Inktober Inter-tangle-mezzo tile for half-time, October 15 1/2.
Actually I started this tile way before Inktober 2020, but never got a round
tuit. The lined flower inspiration came from Kaeyoshino, a Japanese artist on Instagram.
Killing Time
...and thus goes on my puzzle series. If you have missed the previous ones,
refer to my last two posts. Here my clue to how it works. First below image
reads: SANDBOX; now figure out 12-16. I know, it gets more and more difficult,
but remember, solutions are at bottom of this post. You can always peak.
Have fun!
Animal Happy Day
This is maybe not the kind of animal video I usually post, but .... well,
please click and watch it!!! And it made me sadly happy that I am a tiny part
of it. Sadly because I wished this all wasn't necessary. I wished our human
race was particular kind to all (!) animals. But we are not and thus people
like Viktor have these kind of paper collections.
Please click and watch! Thanks
C.O. is well and so am I. However, I cannot say the same about the weather. Rainy, cold, clammy, greyish, unpleasant, depressing...I have no idea what I did to insult it so. But who wants to talk about the weather. So have a nice 2nd part of Inktober 2020. I have seen so many incredible tiles on facebook and instagram. Tanglers are fired up!
