Paradox challenge - Better than a Pair of Ducks



I actually got two done this week. Woo-hoo! I thoroughly enjoy working with paradox so when the diva posted her challenge (actually from Maria), I was excited to get going. Weekly Challenge #38 "Better than a Pair of Ducks" Of course it took me until Friday to get them all done, photographed and posted - but what else is new in my house. I'm the queen of procrastination.

I love working with circles so for the first I drew my three circles in pencil and then went to town. It was fun to add the paradox shapes that go behind the others. That's one of the basic concepts in Zentangle. That is, "drawing behind".

For the second tile I used the black Zentangle tile.  The basic shapes were done with a Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen in Black. The paradox is done with the Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight gel ink in Fl. Green. Wow, those Moonlight colors really pop when you draw with them. I just got a set and I assure you I'll be playing with them a lot more.
