Oybay and Others

Tangle: Oybay by CZT Antonine Koval. Micron 01, Rainbow Lead Pencil.

Another Inktober2018 inspiration.  I had totally forgotten this one, and now I remember how much I loved it!  That's been a big benefit of this challenge--recalling and enjoying tangles I'd only ever done once.  This picture will serve to represent Inktober Day 28, but it's actually a picture I drew in 2015 and blogged about previously HERE.

The creator of this tangle says she named it Oybay because the orbs looked like pearls in an oy-ster and oysters live in the bay.  Just looking at this 2015 first try makes me itch to try it again today, and perhaps I will.

Inktober was very productive for me and even though I was so ill for so long in the middle of the month, it was easy and fun to keep up or do a few tangles in one day to catch up.  By now, coming off this intense illness, I had a fair amount of catching up to do.  I decided to work in my pre-strung journal, as I noted yesterday.  So far I'm not thrilled with working directly on the journal pages because it's hard to turn the entire journal (versus the ease of turning a tile and then pasting the tile into the journal).

So although I had a GREAT time doing these tangles, the page itself looks busier than I would like and some of these would have been nicer if I had been able to turn the journal more as I worked.  Nevertheless, I am done with Inktober2018 and just loved the experience.

Whoops, one of the tangles isn't labeled, probably because I'm not quite done with it yet. Another oddity was the Yuma tangle (lower left thru the upper half of the rectangle), which I did with a Micron PN. I will have to take another look at that pen. It looks so blue. I used another PN in places on this page and it appears totally black. A mystery. I wonder if I have a blue Micron PN?
