Circus Life - is the challenge this week. I decided to use the tangles LinQ, Tropicana, and Cack. What is especially ironic about this piece is something I talk about in my basic Zentangle classes. I talk about tangleations for basic tangles and demonstrate a few of the options. Then I say, "But pick one of these tangleations because if you use all of them it will start to look like a three ring circus." So as you can see above, I used lots of tangleations - and yes, it looks as busy as a three ring circus!
I think I actually want to use color on this piece too. But I wanted to get it on my blog in black and white first. I promise I'll get it up when it's done!
My life has been so crazy for the past few weeks that this challenge describes it perfectly. I have been running is so many directions that it's easy for things to fall through the cracks. If I have forgotten to respond to a question or email please forgive me and email me again.
This is just lovely Sue! The shading is great and I like the composition too.
ReplyDeletethe way you shaded the Tropicana is just amazing! Love it!

I love the tunnel effect on the Tropicana as well as the various tangleations.
ReplyDeleteTropicana looks totally new, I look forward to seeing your tile coloured
ReplyDeleteSuper! I particularly like the perfect circle of Linqs. Axxx
ReplyDeletethis is awesome
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Sue! The Linq looks especially playful and fun.
ReplyDeleteI like it Sue, hope you can get some quieter time.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice, Sue! And yes, you are right...life is, indeed, a circus.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how life imitates art! But I like how you've used linq here. It is such an active tangle, and putting different patterns inside each motif is lovely. Yet as a whole, it is light and airy. Good work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tile! I love the shading in the background and the patterns inside Ling
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile :)
ReplyDeleteI particularly appreciate how the tile becomes a metaphor for your life as a three ring circus. The frantic but highly energetic and somehow organized composition captures that feeling very well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tile! It meets the challenge so well and it puts me in a happy mood just watching it because it's so lively!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a pleasure to see my pattern used. Thank you for this gift at this time in my life. You are a Rock Star! I also love the tunnel effect!
