Refresher 201, 202; IAST 298; Square One; 100DayProject


After a long mental fight with myself I decided to continue with Linda Farmer's Refresher prompts, project, whatever you want to call it. After all I spent a lot of time catching up with all "before my Zentangle time" published Refreshers and doing one now every 2-3 weeks doesn't sound so bad. So here is Refresher #201 with the tangles Noom, Trilad, PS23, Firecracker, and Agni.

Tangle Patterns: Noom, Trilad, PS23, Firecracker, Agni



Refresher #202 featuring tangles Fengle, Hemp, M-Anning, Trisnail, and Oddbalz.

Square One week June 14-20 with Worms.

Tangle Pattern: Worms



Square One week June 21-27 with main tangle Snag and some Sez. Snag reminded me of the hands on a clock, which in turn reminded me of an image I saw some time ago of a broken clock. One thing let to the other.

Well, it turned out a bit too busy and too balanced. Less Sez would have been more.

Helen Williams published a new tangle called SweetHeart recently and, being in a trumped up tangle mood, had to try it not asap but instantly. I am glad though that I watched her little instruction video only viable on her site (not the email as she often mentions) because I initially started it all wrong - of course - drawing the tangle line by line instead of a continuous flow. At first, it was a bit tricky (for me), but I eventually mastered her flow.

Tangle Pattern: SweetHeart in a wonky grid



Inspired by...Zonked, a prompt for the 100DayProject on day July 4. Although Zonked was never a tangle on my fav list, I got hooked.

From Aura-Leah to Aura-Leah Zonked, over Zonked in Hectagons, to Zonked wonky Swimsuit.

Another prompt I had to look deeper into is Demi for day July 5, but I altered the Demi squares to Demi triangles - or to a square fragment (which likely already exists).


Inspired by...Demi - here as Demi Triangles
Tangle Pattern: Demi Triangles

My 100DayProject titled...

*** 1Day1Tangle1Tile 2019 ***


We are taking the last few days in this year's 100DayProject and I don't lie when I say that I am glad it is over and done with. I won't complain. There were certainly days I enjoyed drawing the prompts for my 1Day1Tile1Tamgle tiles, but they were balanced by times I fret about them and it had nothing to do with the tangles. I realize now how long 100 days really are. The question remains though: will I remember next year?

So here the last 8 groups of 4.

Group 18 June 9: Ok-Rah, June 10: Nouvart, June 11: Sonnenband, June 12: Good Joss.


100DayProject with June 9: Ok-Rah, June 10: Nouvart, June 11: Sonnenband, June 12: Good Joss

Group 19 June 13: Fandango, June 14: Z-Trik, June 15: Sea Wave, June 16: Sails.

Verve as a bouquet; Cruffle ovals; Noom squared; and Borbs as seeds for something to grow out of.

Group 25 July 7: Tissoooh, July 8: Ubud, July 9: Sistar, July 10: Snugz.

Tissoooh - sorry for the color of the tile, but... I drew 2 Tissooohs on top of each other and wound two arms of the lower bigger Tissoooh onto the upper smaller Tissoooh. Or at least, that was the idea of it. Sistar as a star - yeap, like that one; and Snugz got doubled.

Now that I have reached the finishing line for the 100DayProject 2019 and didn't skip a day/tangle prompt I feel like having accomplished something. 100DayProject 2020 today looks a lot more appealing then a few days ago when I started with this post. We will see...

A case of stupidity or tenacity. 

Cleaning up my 100DayProject folder I found the tile original meant for the May 28 prompt Tut. At the time I wasn't happy with the outcome because it didn't look like what I had in mind, drawing Tut in 3 Gourdgeous shapes. I couldn't see the shapes so I abandoned the tile. Now, almost 2 months later, I shake my head, wondering about my sanity: Who cares about the shape, string or image I have in mind??!!

This happened a few times during the 100 days, but this was the most extreme case. However, tenacity is my middle name and I finally got my Gourdgeous shapes filled with Tut onto my present tangle tiles journal cover. That is what I had in mind.

Animal Happy Day

Can you spot the big cat? I looked and looked, with glasses on top of magnifying glasses, and couldn't spot it. So if you have the same problem, click here. I was relieved when I found out this is not a case of old age, but fantastic camouflage.




Good news also on my latest very shy stray cat project. After my initial try to get the cat to the vet in a basket where he escaped out of before we were even in the car, I had to acclimated him to the basket again. Had to let him understand that the basket is friendly, so I placed food into the basket.

It still took a few days/weeks of that and me petting him until I dared the second attack. SUCCESS! I got him to the vet while all the way fighting to hold the roped tied basket lid down, picked him up 2 days later and gave him the name C.O. C for Clockwork (for his punctuality appearing for breakfast) and O for you guessed it, his fur color Orange.

For the time being O.C, remains our local shy stray cat and he knows where he can still get his daily meals. Below: Photogenic C.O. on his approach to get his daily dose of strokes.




Last week I didn't place a video because the blog post was already too long. So here is my animal video of the blog.

From Heartbreak to Happiness - yes, even dogs experience it.





And last but not least...

From my Garden
I have tons of cacti, but am extremely unlucky with flowers. So when I saw this one, I was over the moon. It only lives for about 8 hours, but there are already 2 new promising sprouts about to bloom - if I am lucky.



The next day...

Have a fantastic week and thanks for looking in.

This Krokus fun tile was a quick one I wanted to squeeze in before going to bed late Friday night. When I saw Helen Williams' Krokus, I knew I had to draw it. I figured the step-out comes later so I tried to figure it out by myself, which wasn't as easy as I first thought. A few days later and still no step-out I checked the database sites - just in case - and there it was: Krokus by Sue Schneider, CZT. Sorry, Sue, but I don't think I have ever seen it before...

Joey 219, IAST 246, Miff and more, but no DIVA


This week's IAST #246 is about the latest post by Helen Williams where she introduces curving/flowing strings crossing each other on several same spots as the 'string'. Helen calls it the "String Grid". I added it to my other Helen Williams' base grids and lines she introduces in her Tangle Transformation ebook. Thanks, Helen!


IAST #246 with Tangle Patterns: String Grid, Henna Drum, Raindotty, ribbons and a baby bird feather
Tangle Patterns:  String Grid, Henna Drum, Raindotty

♻️ It's Pokeroot time at Joey's #219 challenge. My Pokeroots are the garden JELLYroot variety - jelly, as in jellyfish in the ocean. Recycled the paper, but forgot what it was. Packaging of sorts.

Refresher #180.


Tangle Patterns: Auraknot, Humpzy, Sea Wave, Flutter Net, Remo



My Training Tiny Tiles for above refresher. Out of the 5 suggested tangles 4 I had never done. As usual, I tried my spin on some of them. Humpzy, I had to abstract it!; Sea Wave, oh, it flows so beautifully - left as is; Flutter Net, tried to put it into wonky floating squares; Remo, abstract, but I forgot the lines!!!! Shugar!

Tangle Patterns from top: Humpzy, Remo Sea Wave, Flutter Net



Miff. A new tangle by Ragged Ray from The Ragged Ray website and her post "a little something'. I tend to mess around with tangles (above says is all) and - of course - as beautiful as Miff is (click on the post name if you missed it), I had to give it a spin. First I spiraled the line and then I extended the bent 'C's into petals, and thus it became Petaled Miff.

Tangle Pattern: Miff-cum-Petaled Miff





Animal Happy Day...or is it!

Hurrah! We humans have not only successfully established ocean shipping lanes, but trash lanes, too! Well done, us! (Sorry for my sarcasm)




Rooting for a great next week that will hopefully
bring this world a bit closer in the future.
