Inspired by...

...wonderful Mihca tangle by Annett Ruempler. The tangle is a bit of a challenge, a head scratchier for maybe the first 5 to 10 minutes, but once you 'see' through the 'maze' it is tons of fun to draw it. Click on the link if you want to give Annett's Mihca stepout a try.

On copy paper

Tangle Pattern: Mihca

Animal Happy Day

It took a year but now Champ will never be wanting for anything in his life ever again....

Every afternoon CO comes home to claim his treats (hence his name: Clockwork Orange with Orange referring to his fur and not the horrible movie). Coal wouldn't beg for treats, he insists on wanting to be pet and kissed and stroked and head scratched and all. He is a real pain in the butt when housecleaning is scheduled. Thus here my latest shopping list: Mustard, Coffee, Noodle Soup, Prison Cell for Cats...

Enjoy your treats, CO and Coal and
thank you, visitor, for looking in.

One of my Air plants in my garden.
All that rain we had was a blessing in disguise for them.

ZIA TT&T MayDay's Alphabet Strings Challenge 2022

Another ongoing challenge I am still working on. It started in May (of this year! not last) and now we have September and I am still not finished! The good news: I am almost there. So here we go, the Yellow and Light Blue sets.

If you think some of the letters are too well hidden, you are correct. I admit, some letters I had to 'squeeze' into the design after I half finished the tile. I need to remind myself to read the challenge's title! And, too, I keep hiding letters although the rule says to make it well visible. My challenge has become a "Can you spot the letter" challenge. Oh, well.

Day 13, letter D - Damsel Leaf, Djo, Diamond Drops

Day 14, letter W - Watermelon Seedz, Wired, WGT

Day 15, letter Q - Quetsch, QuaSahnt, Querky

Day 16, letter T - Tipple, Tear Drop Tops, Tint

Tangle Patterns starting with letters D, W, Q, T

Day 17, letter Y - Yego, Y-Chain, Y-Flip

Day 18, letter E - Esther, Efeu, Etepetete

Day 19, letter J - J-Burst, Jakubs, Jara

Day 20, letter O - Octonet, Oopsmi, Oomba

Tangle Patterns starting with letters Y, E, J, O

Animal Happy Day

A very special cat indeed!

Over time I have watched many super crazy animal rescues at The Asher House channel and I wonder why I never published one of them here in my blog pages. So, wait no longer.... a new rescue arrival at The Asher House.

Autumn has arrived and with it those beautiful yellow, red, and rustic coloured leaves decorating trees and carpeting grounds. In all the years I have lived in the tropics I never missed the snowy cold winters, but the autumn season. 

Autumn, by Amy Boothby (age 10!)

Look at the different coloured leaves,

Swaying gently with the breeze,

Lovely reds, browns and greens,

All waiting to fall from the trees.

When they leave they twist and turn,

Ready to join the masses of fern,

Landing softly on the ground,

You can taste the smell of autumn, all around.

Thank you, visitor to my blog, for your interest in my tangle tiles and if you don't live in the tropics, enjoy the sight of those leaves, still attached to the tree, falling, or already resting on the ground.

In my next post I continue this year-long challenge with the August prompts... I have to admit that with this challenge I wobble drastically between a very, very low drawing energy and a hugely high motivation, but am very much driven to do all days to the very end...December 31. Anybody else having done all days thus far? 

And thus: "Off, off into the August prompts...".

Who would have thought, Mark Levine a huge dog lover. If this is not heart-grabbing....

Hilarious funny vs devastatingly appalling

CO and Coal, my two not-liking-each-other male cats, enjoying their treats as in-harmony Yang-Yang and loving-each-other brothers. Again, pictures can and do tell lies.

Thanks for visiting my post and I
wish all extreme heat suffering visitors a cool day.
Quite comfy cool here in Thailand with all the rains, storms,
and strong winds ruling our days.

ZIA TT&T MayDay's Alphabet Strings Challenge 2022

It has been a while since I visited ZIA group on FB, but I was lucky that I caught the May Alphabet String challenge just in time. So this is part 1 of 'I-don't-know-how-many-parts-in-total-yet', but true to my word, I will do them all. The Rules were pretty simple. Tangle names need to start with the string letter given and the string letter needs to be clearly seen. Oops! 

Day 1, letter M - Mooka, Marasu, Meer

Day 2, letter G - Gemma, Gra-Vee, Ginaleaf

Day 3, letter B - Batter, BB, Bellinno

...to be continued...

Inspired by...

...the Zentangle HQ reminder that May is the month for Mental Health Awareness in the States and they appropriately use the tangle 'Well' to honour it. I decided to create a similar tangle for this occasion...an open knot I named Pom Dok Ma.I (stepout below).

Google Album link

...the tangle Gadroon, deconstructed by Sandra Strait. I found this tangle when I was looking for G-Tangles for ZIA's May challenge 'Alphabet Strings'.

Tangle Pattern: Gadroon

...the tangle Bedrox by J. Murphy. Same as above with Gadroon. The tangle intreged me somehow. So I decided I will use it as a 'warm up for tangling' tangle. 

Tangle Pattern: Bedrox

...LOL, a simple but fun tangle by Joana Santos.

Tangle Pattern: LOL

My New Tangle...

...Pom Dok Ma.I, or, in English, Knot Flower. I got the idea from the above ZHQ Mental Health 2022 project. 

Tangle Pattern: Pom Dok Ma.I

Find all my own tangles with samples in my
Google Album Tangle Collection folder.

My New Fragment...

...FS-Z027

Tangle Fragment: FS-Z027

The String for FS-Z027

Animal Happy Day

To May, the US National Mental Health Month. At the end of this video it says that I should share this video with someone...I chose you. 

A picture is worth a thousand words. However, the picture with CO and Coal together fools you. There is no camaraderie. friendship or even BBF (Best Brothers Forever) among these two. But each time I see them together like this my hope rises. Coal is still young, he can change, but can CO? 

BTW, CO is back on meds...got into a fight with another cat and now suffers from a small hole inside his ear. It is a never ending story with this silly loony cat. Coal, on the other hand, prefers to stick at home more so I got myself a clever loony cat, too.

With love...

...Zaungast

Thanks for visiting.
