Inspired by... Toodles

A new tangle has hit the Zentangle community and if I am not mistaken, it is published by Zentangle HQ during one of their 12 Days of Zentangle this year. I had one look at it and knew, Toodles is right up my alley.

Second Half November 2017 Refreshers

...continuation from previous blog.

I was short by 3 tiles in the first half of November and as it turns out, my November motto: "Match 30 Refresher Tiles to 30 November Days" should read "Match 30 - 1 Refresher Tiles to 30 November Days". I actually had the last tile in the works on Nov 30th, the 2nd tile of that day. However, it was already after midnight when I decided to turn in and get some sleep. So I officially admit to be defeated by one tile on my own challenge.

First Half November 2017 Refreshers

After I completed my personal challenge "31 October Days; 31 Zentangle Refresher Tiles" in October to catch up with the already published refresher suggestions on tanglepatterns.com, I noticed, there were still too many tiles to be done before I was reasonably close to the up-to-date point. I decided to keep going. November! Only 30 days.... Well, so my new personal challenge was born under the motto: "Match 30 Refresher Tiles to 30 November Days".

3D Objects 188 - Tent

Joey's weekly 3D Objects challenge #188 asks for the 3D object "Tent" and the tangle "Frunky". I hadn't done Frunky before so I wasn't quite sure how best to go about it. I confess, I am [probably] not the biggest fan of Frunky, so ideas eluded me. I decided I needed a wallpaper change and off I went with my group of camping enthusiasts into the jungle instead. To my utter dismay I noticed they had mounted the 3D "Tents" all over Frunkies and  ruffled them. Here is the proof:

Pattern: Frunky - ruffled

Needless to say I am no longer a member of the camping enthusiasts!

3D Objects 187 - Cube

I recovered from my Bicycle Ride Along the River Danube mosaic challenge where my faulty start created an overload of tangles and colors that choked me for nine weeks. Therefore it is no wonder that I start - and very likely continue - the new Joey's weekly challenge series "3D Objects" in black and white. Not even a speck of color can be found, only two tangles are applied, and there is enough white space for the tile (and me) to breathe.

So here my Cube - the first of 7 different 3D Objects challenges - under the number #187.

Patterns: Betweed and Split Balls

Animal Happy Day

Guilty as charged,
