The challenge from the Diva, aka Sandy Hunter this week, is to take a tangle and use it in a way that is different from the way it was originally shown. If the tangle is a freeform or organic pattern we could put it into a grid. And if it was a grid based pattern we could take it out of the grid format.
I made the decision to use grid patterns and see what I could do with them. In the Zendala above I used seven different grid based patterns on a spiral. Flukes, Emingle, Cubine, Yincut, Dex, Paradox, and Stoic.
And since we got the tree up Thanksgiving morning I used Dex as my ornaments on Verdigogh branches. It's not decorated yet, but at least it is set up. I used my moonlight gelly roll pens from Sakura. I also used a black tile that I had been goofing around with some gold paint on a while back. The gold doesn't show up too well in the photograph, but it's there.
Like your spiral challenge piece. Also like the black tile. I played a little with the Moonlight pens also. They turned out well, now just looking to see if it is possible to make prints of them as I made them on black card stock
ReplyDeleteWow, Sue, this zendala is very beautiful and creative. Great shading too.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun Challenge, and your two wonderful Tiles reflect that. Love your designs and shading. The gold on the black tile is a great idea and adds a wonderful texture to the piece. Great Job, Sue.
ReplyDeleteAh! Very nice tiles. I love the spiral of squares, what a wonderful idea. Both your tiles have a Christmas feel to them.
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice!! Especially love the florescent colored baubles on the tree limbs? Christmas here we come...
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty. Very different to free several grid patterns in a spiral.
ReplyDeleteLovely and creative tiles :)
ReplyDeleteBoth tiles are very nice and with a christmas-feeling :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the black one with the coloured ornaments on it - looks so beautiful!
