I really like tangling with you. You are one that helps with the tangle slowly so we can get it. Thank you very much

[@KelliBlouin]

I'm so happy you enjoy the videos!

So sorry you have/had Covid. You have worked so hard during inktober you deserve to take time off. Praying for you and your family.

[@KelliBlouin]

Thank you!! It was shingles and it felt worse than when I had Covid! : ) All better now and ready to make more videos!

[@janawallace378]

@@KelliBlouin Well anyway I'm glad you are better. Glad you are better. I've just been tangling since September of this year. I followed along during your Inktober and was a lot of fun. Glad you are back to share with us.

i ended up doing this twice ,once with the flower looking one and the second one is this way with the boarder looking, i even did both on the big piece with two more good size spaces for the next two days!!!

[@KelliBlouin]

I love the flower one! I wish I had done that on my larger piece as well!

[@kcalla4903]

Thanks Kelli! I finally got the hang of it! And I LOVE how you show us your practice ones.

[@KelliBlouin]

I want you all to know that some of them take a while to figure out...it's okay if we don't get it right the first time. Or the second time... :;)

Jolie bordure! Et peut être à essayer en cercle? 😍

[@KelliBlouin]

Yes! In a circle is so pretty, like a flower!

Hi! I have learned so much in the past few weeks watching your videos. I’m wondering how I can find a tutorial of the different ways he does this tangle. Also, I’m wondering if you can teach a tangle that someone else does because I can’t understand it from them and I feel like you would be able to explain it a little so I can get it. No offense to the other person, but sometimes we just learn things better from different people. It’s a ribbon that a lady named Miss Bestie does on KZbin. If you want, I can send you the link somehow.

[@KelliBlouin]

You can send me the link in Facebook messenger through my page called Let's Tangle! I would love to try it! If you visit the Facebook page "Seven Forests Five Rivers" they have posted the Inktober Packet. Inside the packet is a list of every tangle. You can click on the Oasis tangle and it will take you to Thomas Padros page where he shows variations!

[@catbalou2423]

There a still some tangles...whilst drawing them I only think: Bring it to an end. I fear in my big picture it's clear, which they are... sorry Thomas, but many, many painters love it ;)

[@KelliBlouin]

It all takes practice and some are just trickier than others!

[@evocationart8370]

It’s just beautiful, you have a little space on the other side of Millia crown which looks a bit lonely 😂😂

[@KelliBlouin]

Oh, no...running to my studio space to check it out...

[@osilva2367]

Really weird there are two completely different tangles on youtube for ""Oasis" by Thomas Padros.

[@erinmorrison6199]

I agree

[@KelliBlouin]

Many artists post variations of their tangles. He has about six variations of Oasis that all begin with that little alternating teardrop shape. By varying how long he makes each one, and varying the placement along a straight line or in a circle, he can get so many beautiful possibilities! I chose to do mine as a border...but Barbara Langston of Not Perfect Zen did hers as the flower. We love showing variations so everyone can find what they love!

[@janicek456]

Thanks so very much for all you have done for Inktober.

My goodness, you are so kind! As content creators, we make about half a cent on each view. It varies more or less depending on different variables, but a $20 donation is incredible! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
