The internet went out this morning. It will not come back today. As a result, I wasn’t able to view anything on line. So today’s tile is a break from the Project Pack 07. This tile was created from a random tangle selection. I actually pulled five tangles, but only used three of them: Rumpus, Squid and Trellina. I wasn’t sure how this idea would turn out, but I an happy with the finished tile!
I like to have a tile that has a complex string with a lot of different spaces. I can sit down and fill an area with a random tangle when I have a few moments. But I don’t have to work on it until it’s done. I just return to it when I have a short bit of time. That means it may be sitting on my desk for a while before it’s finished!
This tile is from Project Pack 2, The Twelve Days of Zentangle. On day three, Maria introduced a new tangle: Rumpus! This is an interesting tangle that starts off with a few dots and then builds like a symphony to a finale with sections being drawn behind one another. You, too, can be mesmerized watching her draw in the video here . In addition, another technique, which she refers to as “enthatching” is introduced. This is where fine lines are stroked out from a corner or a center to add color and dimension. Here, I used various blue-inked pens and markers to add color to the design.
