IAST 286, 287, 288; Botani 2019; 100DayProject 2019; Square One; Refresher 197, 199 and some more...

Facebook's Zentangle group Today's Tangle: Keep It Classic recently had the tangle Tripoli as a string prompt. In this tile I used Tripoli as both, the string and the filler.

Tangle Pattern: Tripoli in Tripoli string

Square One, a Facebook weekly prompt sponsor, featured the tangle Sonnenband for the week of March 29 to April 4th.

Tangle Pattern: Sonnenband

IAST challenge #286 with tangles Tunnelvizion (reminds my of Hypnotic), Mr. E, and Scape. For whatever reason this challenge didn't suit me somehow. (When you have a lousy tile, blame it on the challenge or the prompt provided. (Yessss!))

Tangle Patterns: Tunnelvizion, Mr. E, Scape

IAST challenge #287 - Easter egg string with tangles Hemp, Queen B, Henna Drum. I hope I was able to hide  my Easter egg well...

Tangle Patterns: Hemp, Queen B, Henna Drum

IAST challenge #288 with Tulipa, Javik, and Mooka a la Edgy style.

Tangle Patterns: Tulips, Javik, Mooka

And - of course - I am still working on the March Botani-Tangles 2019 tiles, listed here in no particular order. Well, as I draw them. There are days when you don't feel like drawing a spiky pattern, and the next you can hardly wait to get your chores done so you can draw spiky tangles. Anyway, no spikes on this - day 19-21 - tile. The tangles are Aura-Leah, Ying, Peace Out.

Tangle Patterns: Aura-Leah, Ying, Peace Out

Botani 2019 day 22-24 suggested to combine the tangles Pozer, Petals, and Oke and the result? A half friendly-looking, spout lipped Werewolf with blown cheeks!

Tangle Patterns: Pozer, Petals, Oke

Here are the spikes. Botani 2019 day 25-27 with Harvey, Krokus, Dooleedo.

Tangle Patterns: Harvey, Krokus, Dooleedo

Botani 2019 day 16-18 with tangles Auskelis, S-Rock, Andromeda

Tangle Patterns: Auskelis, S-Rock, Andromeda

BotaniTangles 2019 with day 31 and Mumsy. I combined Mumsy with the tangle suggestion by Tangle All Around April 6 Drip-Drop. Unfortunately, Drip Drop became the main actor, but it really is a dedicated to Mumsy scene.

Tangle Patterns: Mumsy, Drip-Drop

5 down, one more to go...(that was 2 days ago)

...and now I made it! Botani 2019's last tile, day 28-30 with tangles Trentwith, Ribbon rose, Jasmin. Huff, puff!

Tangle Patterns: Trentwith, Ribbon rose, Jasmin

Inspired by...Palrevo. I like geometric patterns and Palrevo in particular. So when the Facebook prompt for 100DayProject on April 11 suggested Palrevo, I jumped for it and made this extra and bigger tile for my running theme "Inspired by...".

Tangle Pattern: Palrevo

Refresher #197 with tangles Tagh, Frunky, Trella, 2V, Rainbow Bridge. Finally I had time to continue with this tile saga... Still 2 recently released refresher prompts on my desk.

Tangle Patterns: Tagh, Frunky, Trella, 2V, Rainbow Bridge

Refresher #199 (#198 still in production..) with tangles  Icanthis, Beebug, Camreap, Olluan, and Tint.

Tangle Patterns: Icanthis, Beebug, Camreap, Olluan, Tint

My 100DayProject titled...

*** 1Day1Tangle1Tile 2019 ***

100 days is longer than 3 months and 3 months feels like Mount Everest in the tangle world for me. Impossible to finish. I am still working on 1-month Zenuari and only just now finished March's Botani. So why oh why did I start this 100DayProject? The good news: with this challenge we decide the project and all its details, e.g.: landscape paiting, rug hooking, or cooking (all interest groups way outside my talents), so I stick to tangling, named my project "1Day1Tangle1Tile" with the tile measuring 6.4 cm square, and switched to "Positive Attitude".

So here we go...

April 2-5 with Garlic Cloves, Delys, Kitl, Chemystery

Tangle Patterns: Garlic Cloves, Delys, Kitl, Chemystery

April 6-9 with Viaduct, Narwal, Azteka. Gnarly

Tangle Patterns: Viaduct, Narwal, Azteka. Gnarly

April 10-13 with Laced, Palrevo, Brayd, Avreal.

Tangle Patterns: Laced, Palrevo, Brayd, Avreal

I like Photoshop and thus every once in a while I check out 'Art' done in PS. Sometimes the works are breathtakingly beautiful and at other times outright silly and all I can do is LOL. Click here to see some of these amazingly funny before and after masterpieces!

Animal Happy Day

...and they play together happily ever after!




New life in my hanging plant. Meanwhile they have already grown up and left their little fortress in my garden.

And I am ending my post with this picture. While you are chasing Easter eggs, she chases fish on her very own cat laptop. Happy Easter, everybody!

DIVA 381, 382, 383; IAST 277, 278; Square One; Zenuari19; Keep It Classic

Square One. I missed out on the last 3 SO temptations, so I had to combine them simply to be able to catch up. Life in the Zentangle fast lane is overtaking me lighting fast, making my head spin. I can't blame anybody. I love these challenges, temptations, inspirations, call it whatever you want and my fingers itch to do them all! Tangles: Zwieblbee from January 4th, CalligraV, January 11th, and Zenith from January 18th 2019.

Tangle Patterns: Zwieblbee, CaligraV, Zenith

Square One week of  January 25 - 31 featuring Andante.

Tangle Patterns: Andante, Molygon

DIVA challenge #381 sporting the theme: A Happy (new) Medium, meaning a new pen or paper. I didn't have anything new really, so I dismissed the challenge not thinking twice about it. Then yesterday I had to highlight a text and went to buy a highlighter. I ended up buying 4 different colors (blue, pink, green and yellow) as it dawned on me that I could use one or all of them for the DIVA challenge.

Tangle Patterns: Damsel Leaf

DIVA challenge #382 with theme "Stripes". Drawn on green notepaper I used the tangles Aurabedd, Bravo, Betwinkle, DropRow, Dazzly.

Tangle Patterns: Aurabedd, Bravo, Betwinkle, DropRow, Dazzly

Tangle Patterns: Ratoon

IAST challenge #277 with Fancy Nancy and A-Frame tangles on a tile with an 'N' string.

Zenuari 2019 - day 12: "Grid tangles only" with tangles Side-eye, Betwix'd, N, Florz, Knightsbridge, Insydeout, DL-Labyrinth and a bit of Pop-Cloud to fill the corners and to cover the sun. I know Pop-Cloud is not a grid tangle, but I didn't put it into the grid, so....tssss!

Tangle Patterns: Side-eye, Betwix'd, N, Florz, Knightsbridge,

Insydeout, DL-Labyrinth and a bit of Pop-Cloud

Zenuari 2019 - day 10: Nametangles. My name is Susie hence I chose tangles starting with the letter S such as Sindoo, Stonestory, Stem Topper, and Spikor3.

Tangle Patterns: Sindoo, Stonestory, Stem Topper, and Spikor3

Zenuari 2019 - day 15: Donut with Phicops paper holder to not get your fingers sticky, The Fab, and a paper napkin for the mess.

Tangle Patterns: Phicops, The Fab, and a napkin

Paradox or Gourdgeous? Optical Illusion?

Zenuari 2019 - day 22: I took a huge leap towards the front of the end with day 22: Optical Illusions. I was certain I was going to skip this challenge, but then I did my first tile for Today'sTangles: Keeping it Classic (TTKICPrompt012119) from Jan 22 with the versatile tangle Paradox on green notepaper (duh, me, this invalidated it for the TTKIC challenge). However, after I finished the tile I noticed Paradox had turned into Gourdgeous! Ha! Thus I drew a second tile, this time on white paper (!) for TTKIC andthe green one got reassigned to Zenuari day 22. 2 hits with one prompt!

They have both the same string, but while the green has the original challenge string drawn with straight lines the string lines of the while tile are wavy.

Tangle Pattern: Paradox with illusion of Gourdgeous

Apropos Optical Illusion. I found this "Extreme Confusion Reading Optical Illusion" on the net which I found quite amusing and wanted to share with you. Enjoy.



Zenuari 2019 - day 20: Maze. I made it. Another Zenuari day I was sure to skip because, honestly, Maze? Then Crabeye jumped to mind, the tangle that reminded me of my childhood when we played with the round handheld labyrinth containing 3 little marbles. I strongly believe Crabeye has the wrong name, it should be Maze.

Tangle Pattern: Crabeye

Animal Happy Day

Maybe ditching that bacon forever after watching this "Happy ever After" video?
