Animal Happy Day

This is just for laughs...

Why do I have more images of Coal and not of CO? CO is an outdoor cat for sure. He comes home for food and if the weather is bad for a comfy nap in my bed. So I am more like a bed and breakfast for him. Coal, on the other hand, loves to have me around. He even volunteers to help me with my tile drawing - shading is his forte, well, if he is not acting as a Pasha par Excellence that is (2nd image). 

Forget shading for the day...😴

Coal actually sleeps😴 upright while leaning towards the desk shelf.

Thank you very much, all you visitors, for dropping in. 
Have a splendid day.

ZIA MayDays Alphabet Strings

I did it! My heart was not in the light yellow ZIA MayDays Alphabet Strings set, but the official challenge is now done. The author of the challenge left out 2 letters though, V and Z. Honestly, would you not do them now that you have done 12/13th of the Alphabet?

Day 22, letter H - Hamail, Hatooringkle, Hayastone

Inspired by...   

...Zentangle Project Pack #18 - my try on drawing on Vellum (tracing) paper. Didn't turn out as it should, but I like the fact that it is easier to melt the white gel highlight into the black. Tangles used: Asian Fans, Ballace, Ferngally, Coraflux.

Tangle Patterns: Asian Fans, Ballace, Ferngally, Coraflux

...August. August was a tangle we used on the last day of August's Tange 365 challenge. I had to draw it again and so I put it on my Journal cover #11 together with Jetties.

A Different Kind of Art

Problem: Plastic Bags

Solution: Rope

Art: Click here for some ideas including... you guessed it: Pumpkins

There are many DIY youTube videos out there and often I thought, this is the one I will try - only to never get a round Toit. However, the plastic bag-cum-rope video tut of only 2 min was so simple and inspiring I had to give 'roping' a go. 

And here my own, growing and truly endless plastic bag rope. 

Animal Happy Day

Here is another Mark Levin Dog Show video. The dancers are from my home country, Switzerland, and I was mesmerised while watching their performance.

Thank you for visiting my blog and if you need some rain...come to Thailand, We are drowning in water. This is what I had to do to protect my cacti exposed to the weather. They usually survive the our rainy seasons, even when it rains a few days in a row or 24 hrs non-stop, but weeks of daily rains??!! So far so good.

Coal, please, you are overreaching...respect my space. I can't draw with your legs spread over my journal. 

CATS!

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.

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.
