Inktober Tangles 2023 Days 16-18

[@AwaOdoriKaikan]

Thank you very much! Well, I kind of love Zutto. Maybe because it’s tricky. Took me various attempts to get it!

[@botangle4946]

You know. I too think it is gorgeous - just not very Zen for me. Maybe I'll find my rhythm. Practice is all one needs.

[@Flora-v6u]

Well, it may make your head hurt, but my goodness, your work is beautiful! I am following along (eventually) but not with such skill or beauty! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@botangle4946]

Awe - that's nice of you to say. I have to work hard at some of these tangles to make them look ok.

[@marilynneblakely1269]

🤯😳 That last one was a doozy! You aren’t the only one whose head is hurting. I’m finally caught up with you after missing several days to transition from Oregon to SoCal. Better weather here, for sure! ☀️🌴

[@botangle4946]

Glad you agree. Makes me feel better. Did you move? Or just vacationing?

[@marilynneblakely1269]

We come down for the winter …… with trips back home for Christmas and to do taxes. Then we stay til the heat runs us out.

[@wilhat]

Love them.

[@botangle4946]

Glad you do, thanks!

[@judebaber5695]

This piece is so lovely. I also think Zutto is difficult…makes my brain itch 😳

[@botangle4946]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. It IS so very beautiful though, and worth making the effort to learn.

I love how you changed the emphasis of acropolis to tulopolis! Awesome move on that tangle.

[@botangle4946]

Great name, Tulopolis. You know me and flowers, by now.

Awe - thank you!

I tried to find your uniball white pen, but there’s so many to choose from. I want to make sure I get the one that you have. Could you tell me more about it please and thank you for all you do I love following along with you, so elegant and so pretty.

[@botangle4946]

Thank you. It says on the pen clip Hybrid Gel grip DX and the size is 1.0 or medium. Good luck finding it. I really do love mine.

Hi Annie, what is lively line, you mentioned using that as a background for Walnutz?

[@botangle4946]

It's a term we use in pen and ink that means making lines thick and thin, like a calligraphy pen would make. It's more interesting to look at than a line with no character. Thanks for asking. I mention it often.

[@emjayvee9]

Oh ok! I didn’t know the term. Thank you, such a great term! Lively lines ‼️

[@marykaylindberg4237]

These were not stellar tangles on mine. Oh well! I tried!

[@botangle4946]

That's not true!! You do such beautiful work!
