Gratitangles

Like last year, I engaged in the #Gratitangles2018 challenge this year, creating a tile a day.  I definitely enjoyed the month-long event, even if I knew most of the tangles already.  It's nice to play and, having a prescribed tangle and a daily goal, kept me practicing.

Some of my favorites from the month:

Day 8: Tripoli

Day 4:  Jetties

Day 9:  Marasu

Day 20:  Btljoos

Day 22:  Zinger

Day 21:  Meer

Day 29:  Pokeleaf and Pokeroot

Ending November Early

With the holidays and other events filling up the last weeks of November, I combined several tangles from the November challenges #Gratitangles and #Giveatangle2017 into the same tile.  Some I like, others not as much.  Even though I practice Zentangle most days, I am more or less mindful and meditative depending on the day.  Today, in combining 15 tangles (and forgetting one) in one tile, I lost concentration, made a mistake in setting down the basis of beeline, and was then frustrated.  I rushed the rest of the tangles and shading, giving up on the idea of a "perfect" tile.  Ah, perfect is the enemy of good.  I forget the "no mistakes" mantra of the Zentangle community.  It's a practice.  One I definitely need.

Day 18-21: pokeleaf, bales, fengle, flourish

Day 18-21: phroz, mooka, huggins, Bronx cheer

Day 22: ta-da and fandango

Day 23-30:   With drupe, amphora, zinger, rixty, laced, cruffle, benumber, cubine, viaduct, 'nzeppel, (incorrectly started) beeline, JJ, golven, purk, and chainlink.
