Inktober Tangles 2021 Day14 C-Knots

[@peggymurray9952]

So appreciative of your videos. Some of these tangles are very difficult. So happy we don’t need to be perfect and can keep learning.

[@notperfectzen]

You are so welcome! I constantly have to remind myself that this is an art method, and not a contest. I've enjoyed learning how to do these and share them with everyone on my channel. Thanks for watching! :)

Love this though mine needs much practice! You make it a real "Zen" experience! ❤

[@notperfectzen]

I’m sure that I did a lot of practice for that pattern. 😊 Thanks for your kind comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️

...a couple of saving graces, Not Perfect, and No Mistakes. To add; Laughter is a very good medicine; Try, try again; Make lemonade out of lemons. I, in the end, I Like mine, HAD to add my own touches and the journey with you was lovely. Thanks so much for sharing, Barbara💕

[@notperfectzen]

Well said, Bev! Thank you so much for sharing. I try to make my videos easy to follow, and I do my best to find the easiest way to show a pattern. Some of these have been a challenge, but in the end I learned a lot and appreciated each pattern. 💕

Tell you what I am grateful for and appreciative of…your videos 😘

[@notperfectzen]

Thank you, Jude! You are so welcome! 😘

Excellent work Barbara…thanks for showing us how it’s done!

[@notperfectzen]

Hi Carol! You are so welcome - I'm very happy that my video helped! :)

[@bevdavy6343]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! I was in 'knots' about this tangle - I even thought about not trying it! But seeing that you had problems and yours came out so well made me know that I have to try. Thanks for your encouragement and your videos.

[@notperfectzen]

You are very welcome! I'm really happy to know that I'm able to help others figure these patterns out. Thanks for letting me know - it means a lot to me! :)

[@suemelnychuk9859]

challenging tangle but great video to help walk us thru it successfully. I appreciate your attitude and approach to always at least try - nothing is perfect.

[@notperfectzen]

You are so welcome and thank you for your comments! I'm always happy to know my video has helped someone. 😊

This is the first Inktober tangle I needed to practice first. You asked for alternative pattern suggestions for between the two "C's". I put swirls in mine (within and without the extra aura) and very much liked the result. To my eye it continues the circular pattern of the " C's" seamlessly. Ill post my practice tangles on my Instagram account and DM you my handle. I still haven't figured out where to put this one yet. I'm doing this challenge on a 14" x 17" mixed media pad. I only started tangling last May so this is my first Inktober Zentangle challenge. Thank you for teaching these tangles and posting them early. Gives me more time to figure out my next move!

[@notperfectzen]

Hi Lauren! I look forward to seeing what you've done with the C-Knots pattern. And I'm glad that you enjoy the early videos. I was hoping it would be helpful to those who wanted to practice the patterns. 😊

[@katmoz3713]

Love this pattern. Given me lots of possibilities. Thanks for your videos I find them really inspiring and helpful.

[@notperfectzen]

Thank you and you are so welcome! I'm really glad that you like the videos. :)

[@wilhat]

Looks beautiful.

[@notperfectzen]

Thanks! :)

[@mhaddad3230]

This was a difficult pattern for me ! Kinda glad I wasn’t alone, but perhaps I just need to practice ? Thanks for doing the video 😍

[@notperfectzen]

You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful! This one definitely took some practice for me!

[@barbarahorton6221]

Ditto!

[@ЛарисаПерепелицкая]

Мне очень нравятся ваши работы и эта не исключение. Красиво.

[@notperfectzen]

Большое спасибо. Я очень ценю ваши комментарии.

[@deborahpercell321]

Barbara, thank you for your lovely instructions! I just found you & will be looking for more of your videos. I see you are binding your cards with Levenger’s Circa discs. What size are your cards? I’d like to follow your lead.

[@notperfectzen]

Hi Deborah! It's nice to meet you and I'm happy that you found my channel. I prefer to make my small cards 4" wide by 4.5" tall. I made my Inktober practice pages out of mixed media paper, and they are 6" wide by 9" tall. You can actually make them any size. I have a video where I talk about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHLLoYJveNd0d5Y

[@deborahpercell321]

@@notperfectzen Thank you! I will watch it immediately!

[@danrenwick2647]

Nicely done.

[@notperfectzen]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[@goughlifeisgood4068]

Thank you for this!

[@notperfectzen]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@mschonher]

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. Did you use a grey ink pen for some of these lines?

[@notperfectzen]

Hi Mary. I'm pretty sure I only used the black Micron pen for this tile, and then used the graphite for shading. I have some grey pens, but honestly I rarely use them.

[@barbarahorton6221]

This was hard for me! Guess I need much more practice.

[@notperfectzen]

I had to practice this several times. I started the Inktober patterns as soon as the list came out in case there were some that were more difficult. But after some practice, it wasn't too bad.
