Diva Challenge #281: "Tangle study-ING"
This week we're challenged to use the pattern "ING". I've only ever used this pattern once and it was at the prompt of a Square One challenge ages ago, very early on in my exploration of Zentangle. Then I forgot all about it. I'm happy to revisit it now because it's such a simple and fun pattern to play with. I love the endless variations of triangle fills and the depth one can create with shading. I'm still having fun with the pile of colorful tiles I made last week.

Finish My Tile series; "Sparkle"
I have not abandoned my previous watercolor technique, though I admit I still have a bunch of these ATC's left.
We continue on with Joey's new series of "Finish My Tile" prompts. She starts off this week with "Sparkle". I immediately saw a gem. The rest seemed to want to become a crazy little sampler. I was noodling around in my new sketchbook the other day and ended up with this sampler of some of my old faves and new faves. I guess this image was still stuck in my head;-)

My new schedule doesn't allow me much drawing time early in the week, so I'm breaking my posts up into two. I know many of you visit here from the Diva Challenge. Here's the link to last Saturday's post featuring my String Challenge entry and my weekly roundup of Travelling Tangles. Come back and visit this weekend.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your thoughtful and generous comments
delight and inspire me.

Love your ING tile, the colors are great and also love the composition!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mariet! If you saw my previous post, I'm playing with a tissue paper transfer technique. It results in fun "strings" that break up the space by color, including the white space which is quite fun to tangle around;-)
DeleteA wonderful mix of colors and a beautiful ING makes it again a lovely tile.
ReplyDeleteSparkle as a gem was a good choice, and it gives a very nice contrast with the other tangles, drawn in black and white.
Thank you Ria! I always love it when the challenges provoke the exploration of the unknown which turns out to spark a new fave. I can't say that I'm in love with ING but I'm enjoying a bit of focus there this week.
DeleteBeautiful tiles Andreas coos used. Nice
ReplyDeleteThank you Carmela! It was a fun challenge this week.
DeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm doing some paper transfer too, since I saw it on you blog.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...! Your ING tile looks so well balanced when it comes to composition and use of colour. Joey's gem is very pretty too!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your tiles. And your sketchbook page is amazing. Would love to make such beautiful backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteLoving the use of color in your ING tile...the way you followed it exactly and filled it all up with tangles...very cool. The sparkle gem is just yummy, too!
