Looking through old sketchbooks and tangle- collections.

Inspired by [u/sotiredyoudig](http://u/sotiredyoudig) , I decided to look for that one time I tried to both 1) finish a page, and 2) shade it. I took a photo of that and a couple of pages from my box (yikes) of notebooks with patterns stepouts and practice. My tangle-pattern obsession has 10 years anniversary next month..

The shaded page of tangles was an attempt to train transitions between patterns, it took me a whole day, I was so proud. I still am, LOL!

Then there are 4 pictures from my pattern collections. I will never get tired of practicing Tomas Padros patterns, or staring at Margaret Bremners works and there will always be something for me to come back for in this amazing hobby that calms my breathing when the pen is connected to paper. There are no mistakes, just relaxing. I’ve forgiven myself for rarely finishing, the trick is to keep all the unfinished projects, that way there’s something to finish another time… uhm, hang on.. 😂
