Inspired by... Toodles - part 2 of...


Part 2 of ... how many more?

2! Yes! At least for this year! But honestly, who can resist this tangle? It is so easy to draw; perfect as a monotangle; looks absolutely gorgeous no matter how you draw it; and tangelations flow easily from one's mind to the hand.

I came up with this Toodle version after I saw Eni Oken's fantastic Toodles.

Some more Toodles tangelations (and here in part 1).

In this tile I used the top middle Toodle from the above image. The leaves I modeled off one of my garden plants. I do not know its name but it grows like a weed, climbing and crawling everywhere, hence I aptly call the new tangle "Weedly". (My apologies if somebody else already created this tangle.)

Because the background of the Toodles/Weedly tile is rather dull, lacking some spark, I photoshopped it a bit. Now I can call it "The Radiant Toodles/Weedly tile". (the bg is still dull enough though)

For the below tile I used this accidentally knocked-down plant as a string. (It is presently in water waiting for roots to grow)

Since I was in the PS mood, I gave this tile a digital makeover as well.

So, this is my last post for this year. I wish everybody a happy, healthy and splendid 2018 with lots of Zen and tangles.

December 2017 Refreshers


The months of October and November were dedicated fully to my goal to catch up with all the Refresher suggestions published on Linda Farmer's website tanglepatterns.com. In all I drew 60 tiles. Not every one of those tiles came out to my satisfaction and there is/was the one or other I swore I would replace, e.g.: #88 in the second half of November, or #120 in the second half of October to mention but two. One day....!

Now here are the final refreshers to reach the goal... 11 in total:

I DID IT!!! I am actually UP-TO-DATE with all refreshers as per Dec 10th 2017...and have already mixed feelings about the success. For one I am happy the pressure of having to catch up is gone; on the other hand I already miss the pool of tangle combos I was able to choose from when my brain needed guidance. And so I can honestly say that I am already looking forward to refresher #169.



Finally! The second refresher of the month came out Just before the year ended and thus my December collection is complete.

December 30 - Refresher #169.

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.

Here the second half of November tiles:

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".
