Seton


Cris Letourneau has stepped in for the diva this week and challenged us to play with her tangle Seton. I've had the pleasure of visiting with Cris and her daughter. In her home she has a 'Zen Den'. It's so inspiring to be there. I've also got her book Pattern Play. It's a wonderfully inspiring book that really gets your creative juices flowing! 

Seton is based on a window in Cris's church. So I was definitely thinking stained glass as I thought about this challenge. Plus, my husband took me out to dinner at a restaurant that had a ceiling that featured the stained glass that came from the solarium in an old mansion. That's why I ended up doing this in the round.  I knew I had to find a few different tangleations than Cris had in her book!

I tangled with a large nibbed uni-pen.Then I added the colors with my Tombow markers but I used them with watercolor painting methods. I went back to an 01 Micron Pigma pen to add little details to the tangles.


I also wanted to congratulate the students from my class at Banbury on Sunday for their wonderful tiles!

    Wow! I love how you managed to make this curve so realistically and the shading is really nice too.

    I love the curved grid of your Tile, Sue. So well designed and drawn. The color is awesome and so vibrant. A beautiful work.

    I had enough trouble producing a boring flat grid using Seton that I'm truly in awe of the way you curved your Seton and I like your use of color.
