GratiTangles 2020; Square One; Refreshers 216, 217, 218; 7F5R Tue & Fortnightly Challenges....


I barely survived last month's INKtober marathon challenge when I was swept into GratiTangles 2020 in November. I am a little bit overwhelmed so I decided that a) I pick the tangle prompts randomly and b) will draw monotangles or mix some days onto one tile. 

GratiTangles 2020 day 3 - Fife....well, I changed it a bit hence it is Fake Fife...and I did it in a Phi grid, so I could call it Phi Fake Fife.

Tangle Patterns: Fife



GratiTangles 2020 day 4 and 7 with tangles Ixorus and Auraknot respectively. Over night creepy Ixorus is sliding  its way out from under Auraknot and will probably land on top of it.

GratiTangles 2020 day 9, 20 and 24 with tangles  Mooka, Opus and Twing respectively.

GratiTangles 2020 day 30 with tangle Ing. This is pure Ing with all lines curved, 4 strands of it. Once it was in this state I  put a transparent sheet over it to check how best I can add to it, make it more dramatic, but... Sometimes less is more.

Tangle Pattern: Ing



GratiTangles 2020 day 10 with Rain...camouflaged within leaves. Or maybe this is a new tangle? I could call it Rainfall? Like leaves are falling in the rain?

Tangle Pattern: Rain



GratiTangles 2020 day 26 with tangle Rumpus. Rumpus is not one of my favorites somehow. Maybe because it is a ball of messy stuff in it. So I tore mine apart. Now I call this "new" tangle "Rumpus Asunder".

Tangle Pattern: Rumpus Asunder



And this is day 11 in GratiTangles 2020 with tangle Betweed. I had no real idea what I was going to do with this tangle so I started drawing tubes. When I approached the finishing line I realized I made a huge mistake: I should have drawn this tangle on a blue tile! As it is, the tubes turned very much into sea sponges. Watch below 30 second video.

GratiTangles 2020 day 11 with tangle Betweed as sea Sponges - Update: Drunk Betweed
Tangle Pattern: Betweed UPDATE: Drunk Betweed


These sponges are considered oceans vacuum cleaners. If you have never personally seen them, let alone in action, watch this interesting demonstration on this YouTube video (30 seconds).




I posted this Betweed tile in the Facebook group Anything Goes - Tangled Art For Everyone when I had 2 surprise reactions. Ljerka Ledenko asked permission to try my tile, which I gladly granted. An instant later I found this wonderful tile by Ljerka in the comments. I thoroughly love it! ...

Drunk Betweed curtesy Ljerka Ledenko.

...and PeteR Grantham was sure, this new version of Betweed deserves an extra name. So Ljerka came up with Drunk Betweed. I liked it and thus it is now 'Drunk Betweed'. Thanks Ljerka for drawing this wonderful tile and the name and thanks to PeteR for suggesting a new name should be thought out.



GratiTangles 2020 day 29 with tangle Keeko.

GratiTangles 2020 day 28 with tangle Cyme - speak 'see-me'. I learnt that from Pat Mathes over at FB group ZIA Tips, Tricks, and Techniques that runs the GratiTangles 2020 inspirational challenge.

GratiTangles 2020 day 14 with tangle Goudgeous, and 7F5R Tusday challenges Nov 17 with Zinger and Nov 24 with SeZ squeezed in while kept simple. I only just started doing 7F5R challenges with the Staghorn tile below being my first one, or better, an apology tile because I placed GratiTangles tiles in their FB group and was asked to remove them, which I did. A few hours later I got another message now allowing GratiTangle tiles being published in their group. Oh, well, next year maybe. Meanwhile I check in with 7F5R every week for a new challenge prompt.

My first tangle for 7F5R (7 Forests 5 Rivers) Tuesday's challenge. The November 3 challenge features a tangle called StagHorn - the white lines inside the black spaces. I point it out because when I uploaded it in the corresponding FB group Debbie E. New, the tangle's author, didn't recognize her own tangle at first.

7F5R Fortnightly Theme Nov 16, 2020: the tangle Luminesque. I didn't like the Christmassy tile so much so I made an almost monotile with Luminesque, accompanied only by Javik.

Inspired by... the new tangle Flow Leaves by Miranda Gerber garnished with Mooka and Tipple. If you think it is a bit too colorful...this tile is dedicated to my friend Uschi in Switzerland who loves colored artwork. Uschi, I hope this cheers you up a bit....and if only for a minute or two. Thinkin of you and Meredith.

Time to Kill

Here the last puzzles of set 1, 21-24. As usual an example with this SANDBOX hint. All results at the bottom of this post in the smallest, tiniest type just in case you accidentally scroll down and read what you didn't wanted to read just yet.


And here the new puzzles. Good luck.




Animal Happy Day

Sometimes a rescue may take years and you may ask why bother. The answer: because in the end it is totally worth it. Here is the case of Nina, a blind scared pup, with the best gift to the rescuer Viktor Larkhill.



Thank you for visiting my page. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with all your family members together. Maybe you even considered inviting that lonely neighbor next door... ???

21. GI overseas, 22. Space program, 23. See-through blouse, 24. Just between you and me
