Inspired by...

...a few pieces that came off of my bathroom plastic floor mat that looks like made of Tipples. I added the tangle Savana I noticed in a video tutorial by Sunali on Instagram.

Tangle Patterns: Tipple, Savana

...an image I found on Pinterest (lost the link) that inspired me to draw this small tile. From there I expanded the idea into an ogee grid filled with shell-looking shells with no particular tangle pattern in mind. UPDATE Nov 20, 2021: I found the name of the tangle: Voga.

Shell-looking shells in ogee grid

...a Celtic Knot tutorial I came across on the website That Jolie Girl. There are times when I just want to mindlessly draw lines. I thought this Celtic Knot tutorial would be ideal for such a time killer. Wow! Did I say 'mindless'? 

Pattern: a Celtic Knot exercise

...Day 15 of the Inktober21 challenge by 7F5R - ING. I used it here as an ING string or it is ING incognito. The ring is Ing with Fragment D1 and the leaves and the middle part function as a disguise for Ing.

From my Garden

It has been raining cats and dogs over the last several days and my ferns loved every minute of it...but it seems so did my simple orchids and air plants outside my bathroom window.

Animal Happy Day

Here another one from Animal Aid United in India. Not about dogs, cats, or donkeys as was the video in my previous post, but about feral piglets. And it is sooooo cute.

Pssst! Don't wake C.O.
Thanks for looking in...

...bye.

Tangle Patterns: Aki-Chain, Ayes

Lastly a tile I made based on the fragment B015. Recognizable fillers: Sez and Betweed.

From My Garden

I saw these leaves in an abandoned lot and knew I had to dig some out and adopt them into my garden family...

...and they thanked me with this gorgeous spoon-like flower that sprung out at the base. 

Animal Happy Day

If at first glance it looks bad...take another.
What I like on Animal Aid Unlimited in India are the touching words near the end of every video. 

And yet another animal rescue video I couldn't resist placing. It is an older one and a bit longer. When I watched it the first time years ago I was sitting at the edge of my seat crossing my fingers hoping all goes well. I was still sitting at the edge of my seat when I watched it again a few days ago...        

C.O., my cat, taking a nap at his very own home entry/exit, my bedroom window. Here in Thailand we have mosquito netting in front of windows and doors. I have to leave my bedroom netting open so C.O. can enter. One day I accidentally closed them... Exactly, C.O. had no trouble shred...I mean opening them. He can be glad my Swiss blood isn't appreciated by Thai mosquitos. 

This post has turned out to be a bit long due to my laziness for posting. I'd rather draw tiles than clean up blog posts. So if you never make it to down here....I am not insulted. On the other hand, if you do make it down here I hope you have had time to watch the 2 animal videos despite one being a bit long. They are both worth your time though, believe me. Meanwhile C.O. and I thank you for visiting. 

Meanwhile, stay tuned until my next - shorter - posting....
