turning old into new


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.

  1. 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

  3. This 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.
