Inktober 2020, Octangling 2020, or TangleTober 2020...I Love them All Day 1-15 (part 1 of 2)

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.  

Tangle Patterns: Anthem, Siri, Pianorondo - Bulky

Day 4 - Unbirthday (sj), Meshmerize (taa), FloralySs (pc), Dots (sw)

Tangle Patterns: Unbirthday, Meshmerize, FloralySs - Dots

Day 5 - Pepper (sj), Tint (taa), Any (pc), Mirror Image (sw).

Tangle Patterns: Pepper, Tint, Any - Mirror Image

Day 6 - Henna Drum (sj), Brandywine (taa), Katerpy (pc)...and sadly no Rodent (jp) and no Root (sw).

Tangle Patterns: Henna Drum, Brandywine, Katerpy

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.

Tangle Patterns: Amarin, Divi, Celtik Around - Teeth

Day 9 - Fugu (sj), Garlic Cloves (taa), Tong (pc), Cylinder (sw).

Tangle Patterns: Fugu, Garlic Cloves, Tong - Cylinder

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.

Tangle Patterns: Bosch, OyBay, Dolmania - Rose

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}

Tangle Patterns: Waybop, Borbz, Florious

Day 14 - Iugo (sj), Beauchamp (taa), Rota Mirrored (pc), Musically (sw).

Tangle Patterns: Iugo, Beauchamp, Rota Mirrored - Musically

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. 

Tangle Patterns: Flux, lined flowers

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

In my next post I will publish a video about this little abandoned puppy freezing to death in Turkey. He was rescued, but there is where his luck ended. The story behind his short life is something I have never heard of. So stay tuned...

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!

12. Circles under the eyes, 13. High chair, 14. Paradies, 15. Touchdown, 16. Six feet underground
