and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."<br />
<br />
My heart is filled with gratitude for all of you, for making these six years of IAST possible, for keeping my enthusiasm for "all things tangled" keen, and for building up this positive and encouraging community.<br />
<br />
While I intend to blog from time to time, I must take leave of moderating and conducting our weekly challenges. I am as sad to say this as I was elated to begin IAST in August of 2013 - but just think of the lasting library we have collectively created.<br />
<br />
On the pink header above you can find a wealth of quick references to past years' IASTs, so please make use of them if you need a spark to tangle.<br />
<br />
I will be present and I welcome your comments and ongoing communication. You can reach me through the email slot on the right side of this page or at brunoadelem@gmail.com <br />
<br />
Looking forward to more tangling together!<br />
<br />

It is ironic that weather has much to do about this tardy post.</div>
<br />
Here in Florida we are as prepared as possible for the uncertain weather that Dorian, the latest hurricane, is due to bring. Lots and lots of prayers are needed for those already feeling its wrath.<br />
<br />
I have been "under the weather" as the saying goes with some uncertain health challenges, but am confident that I will be back in good health very soon.<br />
<br />
Today, though, we have a celebration of birthday tiles and greetings to share so we will stay focused on all that is positive - as we always do!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look ~<br />

Congratulations on reaching such a wonderful milestone!<br />
Six years is a long time to commit to helping others connect to and grow their creativity, while receiving only our thanks in return. I’m looking forward to participating in more of your weekly challenges.<br />
I really enjoyed this week’s challenge.<br />
Three of the four patterns were new to me (Decoo, Firecracker, Joy), but thankfully, none of them were difficult to learn.<br />
Jonqal was one of the earliest patterns I learned when I connected to this method of creating, so it gets used A LOT in the art I create.<br />
I continue to use the same limited colour palette with only a small variation of colours added to the flames of the candles.<br />
I wasn’t able to get my tiles to you for the last two challenges because I was away from home, but I thought I’d send them to you anyway in case you decide to do one of your catch up posts sometime in the near future.<br />
As always, thank you for all you do to help so many of us explore our creativity.</blockquote>

First of all congratulations for the 6 th birthday of I.A.S.T., for all<br />
the fantastic work you do, for the wonderful presentations and for<br />
suggesting Decoo as one of the tangles in this special challenge!<br />
I have seen absolutely gorgeous tiles, passing on your site and I have<br />
learned so much by joining. I hope to go on following, as much as<br />
possible in the future, as I said before, it is always a great pleasure.<br />
I kept it simple and used all the patterns in the candles, drawn wit a<br />
pen and finished with ordinary colourpencils.</blockquote>

Now I have just drawn a second tile for the 6th anniversary of IAST and send it to you a little late.<br />

I hope I’m not late with my submission! What a celebration -6 years and 302 challenges!!! I used watercolors, colored pencils, graphite, white chalk and a gold gelly roll in addition to my black pen. Why hold back for a big celebration? Though I like firecracker it just didn’t work with my composition and I went freewheeling with Joy for my flames. That’s Zentangle for you. Thanks for all you do Adele.</blockquote>

I had upsetting news yesterday, the death of a friend. He was only 63 and it was unexpected. I felt uninspired to be very imaginative with my rendition but as I persevered I found it comforting to draw lines over and over. Also (here's a "profound" observation lol) in Jonqal the wider/narrower alternation of spaces was difficult, like they wanted to move toward equilibrium. I remember you said something similar about Nipa, that the wiggly lines want to straighten out. So I reflected on equilibrium and how we feel when it's shaken.<br />
It has been a fun 6 years. Thank you for all you do!</blockquote>

Birthdays should be sparkly, and I tangled this with metallic pens. It may not show up in the photo. You'll notice that the candle flames are not shaded. That is because they do not throw shadows.

<br />
"It's a String Thing" challenges began on August 13, 2013, which means we have a birthday to celebrate!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">6</span> years, </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">302</span> strings, </b><br />
<b>nearly <span style="font-size: large;">1,000</span> tangles, </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">9,000+ </span>tiles, and </b><br />
<b>hundreds and <span style="font-size: large;">100</span>'s of "It's a String Thingers" from <span style="font-size: large;">36 </span>different countries - </b><br />
<b>and we are still going strong. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Congratulations!</i></span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
That calls for a celebration, doesn't it?<br />
<br />
Let's begin with our traditional birthday string, this time with six candles ~<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As with past years, this is my step out for drawing the string in one continuous line. Please pencil in the string (pictured in Step 4) in a way comfortable for you. <br />
<br />
<br />
The tangles we will use include ~<br />

This week we were able to concentrate on one beautiful new tangle by Nadine Roller, CZT (Germany), Gelijoy.</div>
<br />
Reminiscent of ivy, it is a wonderfully organic tangle that was readily adapted to the black/white contrasts that Zentangle's new Project Pack #6 featured. <br />
<br />
Let's take a look ~<br />
<br />
The first tile arrived from Moblue (Bremen, Germany) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
...my honest congratulations on 300 times IAST challenge. Even though I am only a short while with you, I have already learned so much here! All the more it saddens me to have missed the deadline for the anniversary issue. So that this may not happen again here comes my contribution to the 301st IAST. Inspired by the current PP I blackened 2 corners and spread the GELIJOY with a white gellyrol on them.<br />Thank you Adele for your awesome work and your dedication to keep this community rolling.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I decided to use Rick and Maria's no mistakes idea. Some time ago I was given a bottle of black acrylic ink. It had a dropper so I dropped some ink on in a few places and tried tipping the paper to make it run. It didn't run, so I used a plastic straw to spread the ink around. I then had a most beautiful dense and smooth black. Almost too beautiful to draw on! I really enjoyed drawing Gelijoy. Then the "mistakes" started. The Generals white charcoal pencil didn't really take on the black. I tried a Prismacolour premier white and that didn't do much better. So I ended up with very little white shading. Then, after I had done my chop I didn't like the orientation, so I tried painting it out. Then I decided to add a bit more beautiful black and the white paint over my chop hadn't completely dried, so I tried dabbing it with a Kleenex.

This week went by awfully fast. I really enjoyed this tangle and the step out made it so easy to follow. It seemed like the perfect tangle to use as a border for a card. I very often make my tangles on paper that will fit easily on the top of a pre-made blank coloured card. Seems like a great way to use my tangles.

I had intended to do something completely different with this challenge... but all week I have had a song running through my head (inspired by the ivy motif), Tell Me Why. We used to sing it at college in a ceremony called a "candlelight" ... the girls would sit in a circle and a lighted candle would be passed around. The person who had "news" would blow it out after it had been around enough times (one time for a drop, two times for a pin, three times for an engagement ring) ... then there would be much screaming and someone would be thrown in the shower. So anyway, last night as I lay awake trying to convince myself the noises I heard were normal cottage sounds and not a furry woodland creature, it occurred to me to abandon my previous plan and put the words to the song into the spaces in the trellis.<br />Thank you for #301!

I haven’t completed a tangle this week but did play around with the ivy inspired shapes. It reminded me that last week I took a photo of ivy in an English churchyard.

Here’s hoping that Zentangle helps us to find some of that peace here in the world.</blockquote>

<br />
After that fabulous display of tiles for our landmark 300th IAST (I am still soaking it all in!), let's take a bit of a deep breath this week and concentrate on just one tangle - the new Gelijoy by frequent IASThinger, Nadine Roller, CZT from Germany.<br />
<br />
Here is our string ~<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRvUCEVDfvaRi_f09Zytv030VZq2JIIGg6U_zn-miX4P2jbwUxQxtTiz_l8ZByYF_4W-PqnRlmej7osYwhz975R4bIA4pmXK__h2ZGZljE_oxDN_p8vd6U8GTiYpydnGg_2hSYxv9yumF/s1600/IAST+%2523301+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="1084" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRvUCEVDfvaRi_f09Zytv030VZq2JIIGg6U_zn-miX4P2jbwUxQxtTiz_l8ZByYF_4W-PqnRlmej7osYwhz975R4bIA4pmXK__h2ZGZljE_oxDN_p8vd6U8GTiYpydnGg_2hSYxv9yumF/s400/IAST+%2523301+001.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">IAST #301 String by Adele Bruno, CZT</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Given the organic nature of this tangle, the string is optional - see how it works for you.<br />
<br />
The direct link to Gelijoy can be found here ~<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.tangle-koeln.de/gelijoy/">Gelijoy</a> by Nadine Roller, CZT<br />
(and also <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2019/08/how-to-draw-gelijoy.html">here on</a> TanglePatterns)<br />
<br />
When I saw this tangle, I was immediately drawn to it. Ivy and all that it represents, has always been one of my favorite plants. Nadine's write up and very clever step out using arrows makes that tangle even more attractive. <br />
<br />
Feel free to create a monotangle with Gelijoy or if the mood strikes and you want to add more tangles, please do. The choice is yours.<br />
<br />
Either way, as Nadine says, please relax, have patience, and enjoy the tangling process.<br />

Happy <span style="font-size: large;">300th</span> "It's a String Thing" to all "It's a String Thingers"* far and wide!<br />
<br />
It is a pleasure to present the tiles for this grand celebration. We used a string inspired by the numeral 300 along with my new Ada and tangles from IAST #100 and #200.<br />
<br />
Each tile is a treasure and the loving sentiments that accompanied them are gifts in themselves. Thank you all.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look ~</div>

The first tile arrived from Gale Sherman, CZT (Tucson, Arizona) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm so sorry I don't have longer to work on this special 300th IAST tile. It is simple, but heartfelt. I got the email instructions today and am packing to leave for a couple week road trip visiting family and friends here and there. It will be great fun visiting AND looking forward to seeing all the great tiles tanglers around the world will produce. THANK YOU so much for keeping this endeavor going. I can hardly imagine how much time, energy and effort you spend challenging and encouraging us. You are such a dear!</blockquote>

Congratulations with the 300th IAST Challenge. Wow, what a milestone.<br />
Thank you so much for all you did week after week to tickle us to tangle.<br />
Some zentangles flowed straight out of the pen while others were more like brain teasers. But you always keep us sharp and you are always encouraging us with your positiveness and loving words. And as far as I know you never skipped one week to provide us with a challenge. Chapeau.<br />
I love your newest tangle ADA and liked to play with it.<br />
My tile this week flowed straight out of the pen. It is a simple tile with not many embellishments, but I think that the suggested tangles are beautiful of their own and do not need to be embellished much.<br />
I really wanted to participate in this challenge # 300 but I also planned a few days family visit in another part of The Netherlands this week. So I was a bit in time shortage and I am glad that I managed to make the tile.<br />
I loved to see the picture of all your beautiful children together.<br />
Much love and have a blessed week</blockquote>

WOW! 300 certainly calls for a celebration. Thanks Adele for inspiring so many of us tanglers to play with new strings and tangles. It has been fun, though I’ve not even come close to doing all 300. Maybe I’ll make the next 300 but I’m sure it’ll be ‘do some, miss some’ and as always will be fun. Looking forward to many more IAST’s. I’m sure the gold doesn’t show up very well in the scan, but knew there had to be gold for such a milestone! Enjoyed all 3 of these new to me tangles. </blockquote>

What a milestone! A huge thank you to you, for your ongoing commitment and care and for bringing us all together, from far and wide, week after week with your strings and tangle selections!<br />
I don't know what gave me the greatest pleasure - tangling a tile for your 300th challenge, knowing I've been following the challenges for almost the entire time, playing with three of your centenary tangles - or getting to know your charming new tangle. Ada is delightful - and so ripe for variation - here is another for your collection - gently rounded, doubled, then cut through in Wholly Hollibaugh style!<br />
Here's to another 300 if you think you can cope!</blockquote>

It’s good to be back! Thanks for the extra week. I found the string challenging to use with these tangles, which all seemed to want to go into straight lines. Finally, I used each number for one of the three tangles, and then tied it all together with Tripoli, which seemed appropriate given all of the threes here. I particularly enjoyed both Ada and 100. I hope you like it!</blockquote>

Good morning and congratulations!<br />
I haven’t been tangling for weeks — other artwork is keeping me busy— but I just couldn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate your great achievement. It really is amazing how long you’ve been teaching and inspiring a worldwide community!<br />
I used your 300 string and Henrike Bratz's variation of Ada. Then instead of the 100 pattern, I changed it to 300. It was fun and soothing to do.<br />
Once again congratulations and best wishes for 300 more!</blockquote>

I'm doing this with one finger on my phone so hopefully will be less wordy!<br />
Congratulations on 300 — that's an almost six-year accomplishment!<br />
The (fun) challenge this week was how to use three border tangles. So I decided to make One Hundred into a grid. Not sure it fades into the background as much as I'd hoped. The "printed c" version of C-Perf reminded me of one of my favorite tangles, Inapod, so I made c's into peas. Then made myself go out of my comfort zone a little to try a cursive variation. Ada was fun. I kept it plain because I was playing with "coiling" it. I also tried a "zigzag fold" version but it took more concentration than I was able to muster.<br />
Thank you so much for years of fun and friendship!</blockquote>

Lastly, this is my tile. I tangled this in three different sessions and now I see that is very apparent. My favorite is the area around the 3 with rounded corners everywhere. It was the last section that I tangled, or I would have drawn the entire tile this way. I added a few stray black perfs in an attempt to tie it all together.<br />

<a href="https://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2019/07/its-string-thing-300-featuring-ada.html">Click here</a> for all of the delightful details. Entries are due Saturday, August 10.<br />
<br />
As the tiles are arriving for our banner IAST #300 celebration, the variations of Ada are simply too fun to wait another week to view.<br />
<br />
I have compiled the first ten into a Tips for Tangling page here for your inspiration and enjoyment.<br />

Each variation is recreated from a tile of the artist listed. Hat's off to and a big THANK YOU to all of you!<br />
<br />
Try these out for yourself, perhaps these examples will spark an idea for even more variations.<br />

<br />
It is also the <span style="font-size: large;">300th</span> time I have greeted you with those words. Three hundred IAST prompts and a world wide community of tanglers later and we are still going strong. How exciting!<br />
<br />
I remain grateful to you and humbled by your enthusiasm, participation, interest, and sharing of this passion for all things tangled.<br />
<br />
To mark our milestone, I have been saving my latest tangle (and the story of its inspiration) to include in the festivities and have a themed string ready as well.<br />
<br />
Adding to the celebration, please permit me to tell you about a personal milestone and my excuse for the delayed post.<br />
For the first time in over two years, all seven of our children were home at the same time. If the photograph below included their spouses and children, there would be an additional ten people pictured here! Needless to say, we had a fabulous reunion and were so grateful to be together ~<br />
<br />

<br />
Aside from their own amazing lives and accomplishments, I consider being their mom, mother-in-law to their spouses, and grandmother to their children, the greatest gifts of my life.<br />
<br />
Speaking of grandchildren, my newest tangle is named for our sweet granddaughter, Ada.<br />
As usual, I ran it by my Knuckleballer CZT group. They approved (phew!) - I do hope you enjoy it!<br />
<br />

<br />
My true confession: I was in church when the inspiration struck for this pattern. While I should have been listening more attentively to the sermon, my attention was riveted on a decorative arch over a side altar. Try as I may, I could not manage to deconstruct it in my mind. I rummaged for a pencil in my purse and scribbled some ideas on the back of a donation envelope (tell me please, that I am not the only tangler to have done this!) until I finally 'got it'.<br />
<br />
We will use Ada along with the tangles below with this celebratory string ~<br />

The other tangles include ~<br />
<br />
100 from our <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-string-thing-100-zentennial.html">100th</a> IAST</span> and<br />
<br />
C-perfs from our <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2017/06/its-string-thing-200-woo-hoo.html">200th</a> IAST</span><br />
<br />
While I am not sure how these tangles will mesh, the chance to use all three is just too special to pass up.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The deadline for IAST #300 is extended by one week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please email your submissions by Saturday, August 10th. </span><br />
<br />
Have fun, the string is merely a suggestion so please let the tangles lead the way - especially these.<br />
<br />
If these tangles do not flow easily for you, feel free to use ones that do. It is far more important to enjoy the time tangling than to worry over how to go about it.<br />

Great fun! The string and tangles really fit together for me. I had fun creating the night sky with our beautiful moon. I used tinted charcoals (one of my favourites) to shade and give a hint of the night sky.</blockquote>

Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since the ‘Man on the Moon’ adventure! My oh my, where the technology from all that has taken us and still evolving today. I can remember being excited about it as I was in my first year of college. Here is my tribute of earthly croon’s escaping to a moon cloud to evolve into celestial twirlies and who knows where they will go. Still an exciting time to be alive.</blockquote>

It was pleasant to use Jody's new tangle in combination with the<br /> cheerful Croon and Twirlies.<br />As you can see, Croon and Twirlies are starting on the bottom and are<br /> flying between the empty spaces, created by the beautiful Zangler.<br />It is difficult to deliver a tile without colour, so again, I took my<br /> coloured pencils and gellypens to finish.<br />I enjoyed this challenge very much.<br />It is just too hot in Belgium to go out, we have reached the highest<br /> temperatures we ever had in Belgium, so it is better to stay at ease<br /> inside and tangle... tonight and tomorrow they expect thunderstorms and<br /> finally some rain!<br />Wish you all the best and especially now a wonderful weekend,<br />Cheers from Belgium</blockquote>

Through the years, people have seen many changes in their lifetime through inventions, technology, sciences, and the list goes on and on. The tiles we will see this coming up week, celebrating the landing on the moon FIFTY years ago, has really brought back memories, provoked conversations, and excitement for what is next.<br /> My personal challenge with this tile was to do it in a matter of hours instead of days, as usual. I'd used Croon a few weeks ago, while Twirlies and Zangler were new to me. This challenge also found me camping with my 8 month old pup for the first time AND I forgot my reading glasses.........still found the joy in it! <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></blockquote>

What a lovely combination you choose for this week. I do adore the work of Margaret Bremner and the Zangler from Jody Genovese is such an awesome pattern. Easy to draw but very lovely to look at. To add both with cute little Twirlies made it a perfect match for me. And here we are, the rising of the Croon.....<br />Happy tangling from Moblue out of a hot and sunny Germany.</blockquote>

Enjoyed all the patterns. I decided to do Twirlies in a grid. We regularly watch Spacex videos. The latest resupply launch to the ISS was a couple of days ago. Their next step will be to send astronauts to the ISS and then finally (four years away) astronauts could once again land on the moon. Exciting times!</blockquote>

Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Zanglers as one of your tangles this week. It’s always such an honor to be included.<br />I’ve had so little time to participate, which is typical once the warm months hit. I look every week though. I had to make the time this week and I’m in amazing company with Margaret and Nancy.<br />I added a little extra with a partial ‘chorus’ by Tomas Padros. I had seen a tile that Alexandria Diaz (aka Artzy Fartzy) had done on Instagram where she made this pattern look like aliens and it was so cute I had to try it. So this may not be our moon…but it was such a fun tile.<br />Hope you are staying cool this summer, it’s been such weird weather this year for sure.<br />Sending warm (or cool) wishes your way and always many thanks for your hard work!</blockquote>

What a beautiful idea to use the moon landing as a string. I’d like to say I’m not old enough to remember it, but of course I do! It was exciting reliving the landing, especially being able to watch on HD screens.<br /> These were all great tangles. Twirlies reminded me of the Jetsons, very appropriate. I also used Crescent moon, Shattuck and Printemps. Like everyone, very excited to see what’s in store for IAST 300!</blockquote>

… and the suspense builds … #300 is next!<br />The moon landing happened the summer between high school and college for me. As I remember, I was at work (on the campus switchboard) when the vessel landed, and I was at the Wesley Foundation (campus Methodist student center) for a retreat for the actual moon walk. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago. I am still astounded by a fact I heard on the PBS show about the landing, that the onboard computer had less computing power than one of our iPhones does.<br />I decided right away using Croon for the moon would be way too obvious. Then I realized — it’s not the moon, it’s the earth — so that was OK. I was kind of “meh” though, until I re-read Margaret’s instructions about blackening the background, which made it pop. I actually considered blackening the entire sky portion, but then when I was individualizing the Twirlies I colored in a couple of them, so (much to my relief — it would have been a lot of work) I couldn’t blacken the sky.<br />So excited to see what’s coming next! I am traveling — flying Thursday, driving Friday, cleaning and moving in on Saturday — but will definitely make #300 a priority!<br />Thank you and hope you are enjoying your family time!</blockquote>

I wasn’t alive during the Moon Landing. However, I’ve seen countless images of the event throughout my life, and it’s been interesting growing up and hearing the varied (conspiracy) theories about whether or not it happened.<br />I enjoyed this week’s challenge. Between the challenge theme and the string you gave us, I tried not to be too literal while drawing my tile, while still giving a nod to the Moon Landing.<br />For me, it’s always good to have at least one uncomplicated pattern included in the challenge, and in this challenge both Croon and Twirlies served that purpose. It was nice to work with Croon again so soon; and although Twirlies was new to me, it didn’t require much time to learn to draw it.<br />As a new pattern, Zanglers actually felt familiar. Drawing it brought the pattern Flux to mind.<br />I continue to use what has become my go-to IAST colour palette to brighten my tiles and this week I was inspired to add some metallic shine.<br />Thanks again for helping us connect with our creativity every week.</blockquote>

I began with Zangler on the string line and followed by using Croon in a Nipa fashion by aura-ing Zangler. One large Croon and a smattering of Twirlies in a dark sky, ample enthatching throughout, and I was one happy space cadet!<br />I smiled through this whole tile because I could not help but remember my fourth grade teacher, Sr. Amalia (May she rest in peace). Her reaction was the opposite of what I had anticipated on a day my dad gave me permission to bring in a magazine that published the first photos of the moon's surface (black and white, of course).<br />Instead of sharing my enthusiasm, she voiced serious concern about the astronauts' future landings. <br /> "How can they be certain that the surface is solid?" she wondered. "What if it was made of quicksand or something like it and they sink in to it?"</blockquote>

After reading the multiple posts you put up last week, I didn’t remember to check back for a challenge. I hope I’m getting this to you in time to be part of this week’s challenge post.<br />
I enjoyed this challenge because both patterns were easy to draw.<br />
I learned Ahh a while back from your tangling tips. It always reminds me of fireworks.<br />
Tweak, with all it’s lines, is my favourite kind of pattern do draw.<br />
As always, thanks for organizing fun challenges that grow our creativity.</blockquote>

Ah! Time to catch up with this week's tiles. Last week's really - and I think you will agree that they are exceptional.</div>
<br />
We used Maria Thomas' new <a href="https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Project-Pack-No--06-and-more-.html?soid=1101168872594&aid=b8OziJdGR7c">Doodah </a>along with Jem Miller's <a href="http://raggedray.blogspot.com/p/a-little-housekeeping-post-links-to-my.html">Kitl</a> and a very loopy string.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look ~<br />
<br />
The first tile arrived from Karen Aicken (Alberta, Canada) and <a href="https://alteredzen.blogspot.com/2019/07/iast-298.html">here on her blog</a> ~<br />

*pretty aura and layering of Kitl<br />
<br />
<br />
From Amy L, CZT (Connecticut) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have done both Doodah and Kitl before, but at first I wasn’t sure how to make them work in the string. Once I started, I got sort of stuck trying to go around the corners. In the end, I got the two tangles to work together pretty well, I thought, and worked out my problem spots. Shading was challenging, too. But when all was said and done, I found it an interesting challenge. So thanks again, as always for challenging and stretching me. Here’s my final result.</blockquote>

*pretty combination of highlighted Doodah and white Kitl<br />

From Gale Sherman, CZT (Tucson, Arizona) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I had to "put my thinking cap on" (haven't thought of that phrase in decades!) to figure out how to incorporate the center section of this tile. But once I had my Kitl fabric under control some babies escaped. Perhaps they are off to make some new fabric. The color under the doodah was made with "pens that bleed" - a black Speedball calligraphy pen and a very wet brush. The tiny bottoms of the Kitl in the "fabric"section and the escaping baby kitls were colored with a pink Mircron 01. We are getting near IAST #300. I'm excited!</blockquote>

From Ria Matheussen, CZT (Belgium) ~<br />
<blockquote>
Doodah and Kitl were two tangles I didn't use until now, so it was this<br /> week a "challenging" challenge for me.<br />I made my tile with a black pen and pencil and finished with ordinary<br /> colourpencils.<br />I just let one little loop "disappear" from the string. (as you can see,<br /> I have drawn there also Doodah with a pencil)<br />Beside the two patterns Kitl and Doodah, I embellished my tile, starting<br /> from Kitl on the left side beneath in the way Molly showed in an earlier<br /> tutorial video. (I love that technique!)<br />This was a lovely challenge I enjoyed very much.<br />Thank you Adele and have a wonderful weekend,<br />Greetings from Belgium</blockquote>

<br />
From Sue Agnew (Tucson, Arizona) ~<br />
<blockquote>
It’s very kind of you to say I’ve done almost 300 challenges. It’s true I’ve been participating for a long time — I think my first was #4. Wow. I’m guessing my total is more like 200 — in my scan folder I have 191 scans, plus several times on vacation I just took a photo and sent from my phone. Anyway, it’s fun, and I think I’ve told you it revitalized my Zentangle practice.<br />I hope everyone enjoyed DooDah as much as I did! When I showed it to a friend at lunch today she immediately began sketching variations of the lines, like a dot at the end or a dash at the end (Maria does that a lot), or a dashed line. I tried them, but I really like the very basic effect. However, one night this week I suddenly remembered another tangle, called Tofube, based on a folded-up quilt (I searched “quilt” on Tanglepatterns, and it came up! thank goodness because I never would have remembered the name!). Perhaps I thought of it because I was looking at a Crate&Barrel catalog. Anyway, it struck me that it’s closely related to DooDah. Or it seemed to me at the time anyway. So I did a “semi-monotangle” with DooDah and Tofube...</blockquote>

From T. ~<br />
<blockquote>
This challenge may be my least favourite to date; not simply because of the patterns but also because I did not have a great week and it feels like that negative energy bled into my tile (I’m in the process of writing about my terrible week for my blog).<br />The string you gave us to work with was interesting and I was eager to work with it. I drew it on my tile without a border because, to me, it already had a border incorporated at its center.<br />However, I think I might have enjoyed it more with different patterns. I may try it out using other patterns I like.<br />Doo Dah is an easy pattern to draw, but it didn’t fit organically for me with the string or with Kitl.<br />Kitl, on the other hand, is the kind of pattern that’s always difficult for me to draw, even though it’s a simple shape. I don’t know what it is about drawing looped patterns that tend to trip me up.<br />I used the colour palette that has become my go-to for IAST challenges as of late and I added some orbs/tipple to fill in the empty spaces, and hopefully to hide my uneven Kitl loops.</blockquote>

<br />
Below is the prompt for this week. Look for the results of IAST #298 in the next few days!<br />
<br />
After some deliberation on whether or not to include the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in our IAST #298 prompt, I am glad that I waited until this week. <br />
<br />
Once I watched the news coverage and relived watching it unfold as I did as a young girl, I gained a renewed appreciation for the drive and determination that made this monumental event happen. I am in utter awe of the accomplishments of so many that made it possible.<br />
<br />
Our string this week pays homage to the first earth rise photograph captured by William Anders on December 24, 1968, from Apollo 8.<br />

<br />
In yesterday's post, Sue Agnew mentioned how much fun she had with Maria Thomas' new tangle Doodah. Sure that Sue is a good judge of tangling fun, let's get to know it this week. <br />
<br />
Maria introduced Doodah last fall at the CZT reunion, zenAgain, that I had the pleasure of attending.<br />
<br />
Since then, I have seen her tangle's inspiration myself on older, ornate frame work and in beautiful arches in ancient churches. <br />
<br />
Let's play with Doodah on this string ~<br />

The last challenge I completed was #150. Life got a little busy and my tangling fell by the wayside...<br />
Just the other day I realised I needed an artistic outlet to de-stress and so picked up my pens again. Lucky for me you are still running these awesome challenges!<br />
I have used Zenith and teamed it up with Marasu and Florz.</blockquote>

Happy 15th to Zentangle! A big thank you to them for years of tangling fun and challenges.<br />
Patterns used: Zenith, Floo, Chillon, Huggins (more or less crazy version), Fracas. And, I managed to stick to the string which was important for this XV birthday. Zenith got a bit lost but that is my least favourite tangle. I don't like the version with all the points and balls at all, so I did the more plain version. Maybe with more practice the points and balls would become more appealing. Susie Ng has done a loosened up version which I like but then she has such talent for making just a small change to make a pattern look wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing what everybody else makes of this pattern.</blockquote>

Happy 15th anniversary Zentangle Tea. Oh my how Zentangle has changed so many lives in 15 short years, mine included. Our power went out for a few hours yesterday and in the dark of my craft room I decided to grab a pen and do IAST 297 with what natural light was left of the day. And because the black and the purple microns looked the same in the dark of my drawer, I grabbed the purple by mistake and started a line, but as there are no mistakes in Zentangle, I just went with it and this was the result when I finally finished it this morning and using some black too. Besides zenith, I used Punzel, molygon and rain. What fun the surprise of picking up a pen I didn’t intend to can lead to! Thanks for keeping us going in such fun directions.</blockquote>

From Sue Agnew (Tucson, Arizona) ~<br />
<blockquote>
Here’s my tile for #297. Hard to believe we are almost to 300!<br />
It was such fun to use “classic” Zentangle tangles. I went through my printed out step-outs and pulled my favorites, and then I had to cull them at least twice! My favorites are the ones in which “magic” happens and they become 3-D. So I was a bit at a loss as to what to do with Zenith. Then I went to my computer to check email and there was an email from Zentangle with step-outs for Doo-Dah. What a fun tangle that is!<br />
I was gathering my stuff to go into the living room (which is cooler in the afternoon than my studio) and thought “my goodness, I have a lot of pens.” Then when I started to draw I realized I’d grabbed a sepia pen instead of a black pen. For awhile I was going through a phase of not liking to shade with graphite, so I bought Pitt pens in a range of cool greys and warm greys, and discovered the warm greys look really good with sepia Micron pens. So today, because there are no mistakes in Zentangle, here is the tile in sepia pen with warm grey Pitt pen shading (it’s only a subtle difference). Tangles include Hurry, Bucky (my absolute favorite, and I pushed myself by using a grid that curved to follow the string rather than a straight grid, which I must say makes it even more confusing) (there’s one mistake but I won’t tell you where), Zenith with Doo-Dah, Cubine, Dex (where Cubine flows into Dex marks the diagonal string line), and a touch of Zinger.<br />
Thank you for all you do to keep this community going! Looking forward to 300. (When I was going through my file folder of printed out step-outs I found your tangle 100, which you created for challenge #100. Doesn’t seem that long ago.)</blockquote>

This week’s challenge was a bit difficult for me, not because of the pattern you chose for us, but because I had a hard time choosing additional patterns I like from among those deconstructed by the Zentangle founders.<br />I first used Zenith in one of your past challenges. It’s a pattern that I truly love drawing.<br />Unfortunately, it took a while for me to choose two more patterns to use with it.<br />In the end, I chose ‘NZeppel and SeZ. ‘NZeppel is a pattern that I use often either as a filler or main pattern when I draw because it can easily fit into any space.<br />SeZ reminds me of Pixioze that we used in a recent challenge. It’s also similar to a pattern I used to draw long before I ever heard of Zentangle to fill the margins of pages as I sat through meetings or classes that didn’t hold my attention.<br />Thanks again for organizing these challenges every week.</blockquote>

<br />
On July 17, 2014, I posted a story and pictures of a Tea that my dear friend Sindy P and I organized for a Zentangle® milestone. (<a href="https://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2014/07/happy-zenth-anniversary-to-rick-and_17.html">Click here</a> for the link.) It was the tenth anniversary of the first public class that Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas taught to introduce their new art form.<br />
And we all know the rest of that tale!<br />
<br />
If my math is correct, next Wednesday will mark the <b>fifteenth</b> anniversary of that very class.<br />

It is incredible to think of the influence practicing the Zentangle Method has had on all of us here in the IAST community, and on tanglers the world over.<br />
<br />

<br />
Let's take a look ~<br />

The first tile arrived from Baafke (The Netherlands) ~<br />

I think Tweak is a surprising tangle-pattern.<br />
Different every time you draw it.<br />

This tile (lightly marbled ages ago) was unearthed in a tin I carry when traveling. Tweak was new to me and I tweaked it a bit more by adding random triangles. Ahh and #therefore are above in golden splendor. Best to all and, again, Adele THANK YOU for starting and keeping IAST going, especially thru jet lag. Your trip sounds very fulfilling and wonderful.</blockquote>

Sounds as if you had a really good time visiting Israel. Lots of interesting places to visit. Also nice to be able to meet up with one of your IAST contributors. This was a relaxing tangle. My lines ended up being a bit more wobbly than I like. I added a couple of touches of red, white, and blue for the 4th of July. Hope you had a nice celebration.</blockquote>

Thanks for another great challenge, Adele! I fell in love with Tweak when I first saw it and who doesn’t love to draw Ahhh! (Especially with a white Gelly Roll?) This past winter in St. Augustine, a friend introduced me to a lovely lady named Ellen Albert from Key Biscayne, FL who also just returned from a trip to Israel. She posted lots of pictures on FB while she was there, so I can understand what an amazing experience it must have been for you!</blockquote>

What a wonderful trip to Israel you had. Sure you got lots of inspiration, met nice people and saw very interesting places!<br />
I’m also for vacation, spending the time at home and so I had some more time to do a tile and I’m sure this time it’s not the last one you get.<br />
Was puzzled when I saw the string but it’s great for this pattern. Didn’t know Tweak up to now and I think it’s going to be one of my favourite patterns.</blockquote>

What a treat and privilege to go to the Holy Land! That must have been so moving and inspiring (kind of gives me chills thinking about it)! Judging from the experience of the folks from my church who went on pilgrimage in May, I'm guessing you got a tattoo in Jerusalem! Apparently there’s a place right on the Via Dolorosa that has been in existence since 1300, called Razzook’s, and the “thing” is to get a Jerusalem Cross tattoo with the year, and then each time you go back you add another year to the tattoo. (I’m just teasing; I’ve never been at all inclined to get a tattoo but the Jerusalem tattoo would be the only one I would ever even consider.)<br />
<br />
This tile was a lot of fun. When I saw Tweak I immediately thought of Flukes, which is one of my favorites because just a little shading adds so much layering. Then when I started playing with it the random string reminded me of Margaret Bremner’s Cockles ’n’ Mussels, and the fact that Cockles ’n’ Mussels came about from her drawing N’Zeppel using a random string rather than a grid. So in some of the spaces I put N’Zeppel and then put Ahhhhh inside. I’m not sure what possessed me to do tiny cross-hatching instead of just coloring the spaces black.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your inspiring stories!</blockquote>

Thank you for an “simple” challenge for tile 296. This word “ simple”inspired me to get going again. 4th July just happens to be our wedding anniversary date. Willie and I were married 52 year on the 4th of July. Here we say married couples figuratively consume one bag of salt every 7 year - cycle of being together, so 52 years adds up to about seven and a half bags of salt so far! Still going strong through thick and thin.<br />

Thank you for the challenge and for Tweak and Ahhh that worked so well together. Stars and Stripes !<br />

Let's keep things fairly simple by using just two tangles with this string ~<br />

Perusing the more recently published tangles on TanglePatterns, this one immediately caught my eye.<br />
Easily tangled with captivating results, it is perfect for our shortened week.<br />

That photograph of us was taken on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in the city of Jaffa. The larger metropolitan area in the distance is the city of Tel Aviv.<br />
<br />
My brother Matt and his wife Diana invited us to go as part of a pilgrimage they had arranged through Diana's brother, Richie. It turned out to be a life changing, very prayerful journey. We walked the paths of the prophets of old and the precious places Christ Himself traversed.<br />
<br />
We covered more material than I could ever take in, with visits to Tiberius, the Sea of Galilee, Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, and points in between.<br />
<br />
To top off our travels, we had the pleasure of meeting up with Gill Green who has been on our Tangled Map since IAST #274. Looking back, I still can't believe we had the chance to meet.<br />
<br />
When we first arrived in Israel, I contacted Gill via email. She responded so warmly and very determined to meet if at all possible.<br />
Because we were traveling with a tour group, coordinating our whereabouts and available times proved to be challenging. <br />
Fortunately, on the very last day of our trip, we visited the city of Jaffa, just outside of Tel Aviv, very close to where Gill worked. (More about that below.)<br />
<br />
Gill patiently waited for news of our location and then caught a cab to the cafe where we were finishing up our lunch. <br />

I was delighted to find out that Gill and her husband have a paper store in Tel-Aviv and equally as disappointed not to have the chance to visit it. It is called Papier (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/papier.il/photos/?ref=page_internal">click here</a> for their FB page) and it looks like a place I would get happily lost in. <br />
She did bring a piece of it though - a paper cube - and square of course! The cube is comprised of hand selected and stacked papers, leftovers that otherwise would have been discarded and each is finer that the next. <br />
<br />
Back home, Gill sent this message when I asked permission to post our story and photos ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Adele and her husband, albeit much too briefly, on their recent trip to Israel. It was wonderful to see the person who puts so much time and effort into the IAST blog that so many of us enjoy, not just for the challenges that Adele inspires us with but for her encouraging and uplifting words. Adele and I exchanged gifts, and I was thrilled to receive this beautiful Zendala that I will treasure, and wanted to share with everybody. </blockquote>

Half the globe apart, united by our love for tangles, Gill and I had the chance to meet in a city by the sea. Sounds like a movie, doesn't it?<br />

IAST #295 was our nod, as Antony says below, to "all those dads who provide for and protect their little ones with loving care." Our string and tangles played on the D-A-D theme.<br />
<br />
On a separate note, I especially enjoyed reading an article in The Wall Street Journal that featured a touching Father's Day tribute written by Mike Kerrigan. If you'd like to read it, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/to-all-the-fathers-in-my-life-thank-you-11560552027">click here</a>.<br />
<br />
We were traveling on Father's Day this year (more about that in my next post) without much time for tangling, but I think my dad, husband, son, and sons-in-law, were well celebrated - as all good men should be.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at our D-A-D tiles ~<br />
<br />
The first tile arrived from Karen Aicken (Alberta, Canada) and <a href="https://alteredzen.blogspot.com/2019/06/iast-295.html">here on her blog</a> ~</div>
<blockquote>
First, I must congratulate you on the sweet new addition to your family! I hope you are getting lots of snuggles in - there is just nothing like a new grandbaby!<br />
Second, here is my submission to your IAST 295. I traced a Zentangle Tile into my sketchbook and got to work. Sorry the edges look so wonky - I was trying to crop out the writing and lines around the tile. I used a blue/black PN pen for my tangling on this one and I quite enjoyed it! One Two Three is one of my go-to tangles, so I was happy to see it as a challenge tangle. Double Double was new to me, and I also enjoyed that. Diva Dance is such a dramatic one - I always enjoy that one as well. This tile was very satisfying to do.</blockquote>

when drawing your last challenge, I logically thought of my father. He would certainly have been an enthusiastic Tangler, if one had already thought of Tangle at that time.

Thank you for this interesting challenge. My contribution you also can find on my blog under the link...<br />

Here is my tile for this challenge. It was done while waiting for plane connections after taking part of CZT#34 training! My dad was a singular man who followed his own drummer, so there is no background nor shading. The Dudah pattern around the outside reminds me of the songs he would sometimes belt out. The slight water smear was at first a mistake, but there are none in Zentangle methods ;)) Double double and diva dance rock 'n roll</blockquote>

It was a slow go this week for me ... my life sometimes gets interrupted by migraine feeding, barometric changes.<br />
So, my real IAST #295 remains in a brain cloud ... but I did manage to play with Double Double when Margaret Bremner first introduced her tangle; I added a small Auraknot to the center; used blue and black microns, graphite, white gelly roll pen on a renaissance tile.<br />

From Sue Agnew (Tucson, Arizona) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I wasn’t sure when you said “take a few extra days” how many constituted “a few.” So hopefully this is still in time.<br />
I ended up doing a monotangle with Double Double. I was fascinated with intertwining the loops. The larger grid has one marquise that inserts inside the other, like Saturn and one of its rings. I did that by drawing one arc and its echoing line, and then drawing the other marquise behind the arc, and then finishing the arc behind the other marquise (if that makes sense). The smaller grid, and the large individual fragment, has loops that are actually connected, like links of a chain. That one, if you are not disciplined about turning your tile, is a good way to train yourself to turn your tile. I drew one arc pair, then turned the tile 90% and drew another arc pair, and then came back and finished the first marquise, and then turned it again to finish the second marquise. I THINK there’s a way to intertwine even more, but I think that involves drawing half-arc pairs and it was too complicated to be fun. I’ve never stippled before; not sure I ever will again LOL.<br />
P.S. I also took liberties with the string. When I was turning it around to see which orientation I wanted to use, I noticed that if “dad” had been written all lower-case, it would spell “pop” when turned upside down.<br />

Fathers’ Day this year was very special because my brother became a father for the first time.<br />
The amount of happiness his firstborn has brought to our family is immeasurable.<br />
The patterns you chose for us to work with in this challenge were so vastly different but worked well together.<br />
As a Canadian, I love Margaret Bremner’s nod to the shorthand we use when ordering our coffee in naming her new pattern ‘Double Double’.<br />
Antidot is a favourite pattern that I believe I first became familiar with because of an IAST challenge a while back.<br />
For some reason I don’t often use Diva Dance, but I’ll definitely have to change that.</blockquote>

This is very late, but I’m hoping it will still squeak in. What a fun challenge. I really enjoyed watching the video of diva dance. I’ve been doing it for years, but a slightly different way, so it was fun to try it the more traditional way. I love doing antidots. I just get carried away. It reminds me of flux. Grids are always a challenge for me, but double double was interesting. So thanks again—I’m still trying to get back in the swing. </blockquote>

Thank you all for celebrating D-A-D in tangles. <br />
<br />
Many thanks to the creators of the tangles we used ~<br />

Happy Monday!<br />
Lou and I are just back from a truly remarkable trip - and the reason our IAST is just a bit off schedule. This photo was taken the day we departed this beautiful country and its extraordinary history. Can you guess where we were?<br />
I will post our location as well as the story of how we met up with one of our very own IAST community members after the show of our #294 and #295 Tiles. (I know, I know, it's such a tease!)<br />
<br />
<br />
IAST #294 focused on CZT Nadine Roller's sweet new tangle, Happy.<br />
The birth of our new grandson, Ollie tied into the sentiments of this easy, fun, and fanciful pattern to draw. Thank you all for the continued good wishes!<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
First of all congratulations on your new grandson!<br />
On my tile I have added " window grilles" and "Ahh".</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have been super busy and not managed any of your prompts in a while, but boy was this a fun one to come back to! This tangle just made me happy. I tend to like organic tangles, and I found this one particularly forgiving. Even on ones that weren’t consistent, it didn’t matter. Since I used a renaissance tile, I wasn’t sure how I wanted to shade it. So, I did a little bijou with only 3 “happy”’s to experiment. Here are both tiles.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
...yesterday I had a play date with a friend (we did collages) and I was telling her about the challenge and how the somewhat linear string was difficult with such an organic tangle (sketching it out for her), and she immediately sketched a couple of linear variations, one with the scalloped edge and one with the lines and dots, neither of which had occurred to me.<br />
So I sat down today to do the belated tile, intending to do linear variations, but then it dawned on me how to use the tangle in a way that pleased me. And I added a linear variation as background.<br />
I’m planning to do the other one, also, but thought I’d better send this while I remembered what I was going to tell you about it!<br />
Thank you!</blockquote>

It seems that June is the time for new life. I now have a new nephew who arrived a month earlier than expected.<br />
Thankfully, after a short stay in the NICU he’s now doing well and was allowed to go home with his parents a week after his birth.<br />
Happy was the perfect pattern for this challenge, since it’s how I’ve felt since my nephew arrived and for the happy coincidence that the pattern resembles wildflowers.<br />
Thanks as always for organizing the challenges each week.</blockquote>

<br />
Nadine's tangle is very organic, so the using a string may not even be necessary, but it is here just in case...<br />
<br />
Nadine's step out can be found<a href="https://www.tangle-koeln.de/happy/"> here on her blog</a> and Linda Farmer wrote about it<a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2019/06/how-to-draw-happy.html#more-75108"> here on </a>TanglePatterns.<br />
<br />
Create a monotangle or add a tangle or two if you wish.<br />
<br />
This will be fun!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful week.<br />

While we were tangling sweet treats in honor of National Donut Day, a sweet little baby was welcomed into the world. Our daughter Catherine and her husband Oswald were blessed with a healthy, happy, and oh so handsome son. </div>

How incredible it is when joys are shared - especially with loving and madly talented friends!<br />
Thank you, Joanne.<br />

Back to our very own sweet treats...<br />
This week's tiles that featured a string resembling donuts and three delicious tangles a la Margaret Bremner, CZT. <br />
<br />
Let's take a look ~<br />
<br />
The first tile arrived from Karen Aicken (Alberta, Canada) and <a href="https://alteredzen.blogspot.com/2019/06/iast-293.html">here on her blog</a> ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Interesting challenge this week - thank you. Two more new-to-me tangles and it’s been ages since I’ve played with Pixioze. I used Croon in my ‘Donut Holes’ and went from there.<br />The tile, which was traced into my sketchbook - was posted on my blog this evening...<br />Thanks again for all you do.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Once I decided to put Pixioze in all the donuts and croon in the holes in the middle it went very quickly. You can't really see that one donut is done in black ink, one in brown and one in grey. We didn't have donuts as children. The first I had was when I came to Canada as an adult. I haven't really developed a taste for them. Those I have tasted seemed too sweet or too greasy. </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I’m also an admirer of Margaret Bremner’s creations so it was nice to get some inspiration from her work and to use her patterns in this week’s challenges.<br />Pixioze is a pattern that I use often. It’s one of the go-to patterns I use to fill spaces on a page or tile when I don’t want to leave too much white space.<br />I’ve seen Croon on Margaret’s site before but for whatever reason never used it. Now that I’ve used it, I can see it becoming part of my regular rotation of patterns.<br />Partay was new to me, which probably means I haven’t explored Margaret’s site deeply enough.<br />I was a bit uncertain about where to begin with this week’s string. I started drawing Croon first and once I got going things flowed.<br />As always, thanks for a fun challenge.</blockquote>

There is nothing abstract about this tile which is watercolor, collage and a bit of Zentangle. I had too many realistic images in my head that I couldn't get rid of! I used #Croon for doughnut holes as a nod to a local doughnut shop, La Cave, which stopped putting holes in their doughnuts years ago to make theirs different from all the other doughnut shops in Tucson. However, for National Doughnut Month they decided to put the holes back in. The pink one is for my youngest grandchild who turned 6 today and the maple for my mom who loved those. I could eat half a dozen of plain cake (or raised with chocolate frosting) all by myself, so I work hard to ignore them. But perhaps one later this month</blockquote>

Here we are with my doughnut party.<br /> I had a very exhausting week at work and just thought there won’t be enough time for Zentangle. But in the end I finished two tiles.<br /> The first was all dark with bold heavy lines. I drew it Wednesday in the night when I was busy installing a new server in our office since the old one has died suddenly on Tuesday. At that point I really was in a bad mood. But now things have turned out better and I drew a new tile much lighter and more airy. The crisis is not yet over, but there is a light in the dark. If this won't be reason enough for a party, what else will be?<br />Happy tangling from<br />Moblue, Bremen, Germany </blockquote>

Hi sweet Adele! Finally finished one, have so many starts. Late yes and absolutely no need to include. It was a fun one. Gotta love those Pixioze....very addicting. Anything from Margaret is golden. I want to be like her also when I grow up...<br />PS: I was thinking I should have skipped the bottom donut and told you I ate it ;)</blockquote>

<br />
This first week in June in the U.S. brings National Donut Day - marked on the first Friday of the month of June.<br />
<br />
The origins of this delicious day date back to the Salvation Army, World War I, and the volunteers who served donuts to our troops. (<a href="https://tickledtotangle.blogspot.com/2018/05/its-string-thing-245.html">Click here</a> to read about it in last year's IAST challenge.)<br />
<br />
Everyone has a sweet memory associated with donuts, I am certain. A few of mine come to mind...<br />
<br />
In our family on birthday mornings, donuts are always the breakfast treat.<br />
<br />
Before Krispy Kreme spread throughout the South, Lou and I would drive out of our way to Daytona Beach just to be able to purchase their lighter than air sugary treats.<br />
<br />
Then there was the time I was visiting our grandchildren in South Bend, Indiana. I promised the kids, as I tucked them into bed one night, that we would get donuts for breakfast the next morning. We woke up to one of the worst blizzards I can remember - totally snowed in. We ended up making our own donuts and had the most wonderful time together gobbling up those warm sugary treats.<br />
<br />
In celebration of the donut, and of our own delectable memories, let's celebrate by tangling with this string ~<br />
<br />

<br />
For the past two weeks, as Memorial Day was observed, we had the opportunity to tangle and remember the heroic service men and women who gave their lives in defense of our precious freedoms.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at the tiles ~<br />
<br />

Adele, I'm continually amazed at how often coincidences and connections occur! They happen so often enough that I'm not surprised but fascinated at how different each one is. I saw this challenge yesterday morning and soon left to teach a Zentangle class at a support group for adults with brain injuries. My first tile included Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh and Printemps. One group member arrived just as I was teaching Hollibaugh. When I was going around to give help and encouragement, I could see he wasn't drawing and was watching me. When I got to him he said, "I can see and understand what you are drawing, but I can't. (His tile had 3 helter-skelter lines on it.) I was an electrical engineer for NASA am an a perfectionist." I told him whatever he did was fine with me. When I got to teaching Printemps I mentioned it was a designed not only seen in petroglyphs around the world but is also a shape that many young children draw. Immediately this man added, "And we see it in the sky. They are galaxies."<br />
<br />
So how many times have I taught Printemps? No one has ever mentioned galaxies. I agreed since I knew I had seen photographs of spirals in the universe and when I got home I looked them up. Yes, Edwin Hubble originally described "spiral galaxies" in 1936 and THANKFULLY I was reminded of them yesterday. So my tile represents Memorial Days celebrated around a #Fife world adorned with flowers. #Funf is on the points of the string and my golden #Furr-Balls (which are the basis of Printemps) represent the "spiral galaxies" in honor of the frustrated and charming man I met yesterday. He stayed for the whole class and personally thanked me for coming to teach and giving all of them the "Ten to Zen" poem Molly posted last year on the Zentangle.com website.</blockquote>

Here I am with my entry for your challenge number 292.<br />
After a long time, I decided to use one of my watercoloured tiles and<br />
started with the given string. I didn't make in the middle but on the<br />
left side beneath to form a big Fünf. Two smaller ones followed. Than I<br />
filled the space inside the frame with Fife and finished with one<br />
little Furball and some Tipples, just outside the frame.<br />
I enjoyed this challenge very much, you start to draw but you will never<br />
know where it takes you and almost I forgot Furballs...so thank you for<br />
giving us pleasant moments while drawing!<br />
Have a wonderful weekend and send you warm regards from Belgium</blockquote>

In my cobwebbed mind ... Decoration/Memorial Day = visits to cemeteries with fresh picked lilacs in mason jars. The scent filled the old blue VW bus. We’d visit with relatives who had passed on while Mom told us stories so we would know the person, not just their headstone engravings. Mom’s memories are now mine. Crazy how that happens.<br />
Giving thanks for lilac memories and for those who are and have served. </blockquote>

Happy Memorial Day to all the US tanglers. Take a moment on Monday to remember all who served and died for the precious freedoms we all have today. These were all new tangles to me this time. And a challenge with the string as well. Took a bit of playing before I managed to get it to come together for me. And as usual, was fun. Thanks Adele for your hard work keeping us all on our toes.</blockquote>

I finished my tile early, but held on to it because I wasn’t certain I liked it as it was. However, the longer I looked at it the more it grew on me, so here it is.<br />
For this challenge, I enjoyed working with Fife in both forms, although, I may have a slight bias toward the ‘flower of life’ version.<br />
Fünf and Furr Balls were both new-to-me but fun to work with nonetheless.<br />
I also continue to use the colour palette I put together a few challenges ago.<br />
As usual, thanks for another fun challenge</blockquote>

I have missed the last couple of challenges—I’ve been busy, and also have started actually teaching so my tangle time has been spent prepping for classes! But I wanted to get back on track, so here is my tile. I actually did it last week and was thinking about going another one, but didn’t get to it, so here is my original one. I tried a version of fife that was different than I had done before. I didn’t love funf, but I had a lot of fun with furr balls, and then decided it looked like fireworks so added ahh. As always it was challenging and interesting. I am in awe of your creativity!</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Participating in Tickled to Tangle sometimes has unexpected benefits! So many people who sent in tiles knew of Tomàs Padrós and mentioned Instagram, so I looked him up and quickly followed him. He has an architectural, three-dimensional style (and is also easy on the eyes).<br />
I really really tried to use your string with five compartments, but in the end I couldn’t help myself and gave in to my need for symmetry. Fife is one of those tangles I used to do all the time and for some reason forgot about. So I looked back in old sketchbooks, and I found I sometimes drew it with circles where the “rice shapes” come together. Maybe that’s a different tangle entirely … but anyway I like it. So I did that version, plus the offset version that looks more like flowers. When I was playing with Fünf and Furr Balls I ended up morphing them into little whirling stars.<br />
Hope you had a good holiday!</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I began with Funf on the string line, followed by Fife. I thought that I would add Fife to alternating string sections, but found it such a wonderful tangle to get lost in that it just kept growing and I had to stop myself before I filled in the entire tile with it. A bit of patriotic red, white, and blue, and a smattering smaller tangles finished it off.</blockquote>

Spent a week up north in Limpopo last week at a cultural conference for language and heritage matters so zenning was on the back burner. Anyway caught up this weekend. Yes we also have a Remembrance Day in SA. My Mom also lost her son, Eugene, my half brother during WWII. He was in the air force and was lost in action over the Mediterranean Sea. Left a sadness in her up to her passing at 93 years old. War has such a dreadful influence on the populations involved, yet we never seem to succeed in creating and keeping the peace around our beautiful planet. So sad.<br />
Hope and prayer is all we need to succeed.<br />
