For this week's challenge, like Laura, I struggled at the beginning. Just having that extra little bit of information in my head (ie: ...."try to use equal parts of black and white space/tangles") distracted my thought process... until I de-constructed the instructions! Duh!!! Just use a black pen on white tile. That's all. End of trauma.
And, as Laura also noted, it's difficult to find a white opaque pen that is truly 'opaque' and user friendly... delivers a smooth line without skipping; covers black/dark paper in one stroke; dries to a crisp white color; etc. So, no white pen for me.
And because of my Type A procastination, I'm late in posting. But I'm happy.

Wonderful what you accomplished w/o a white pen. LOVERRRLY, I love the keyboard dancing through and the wonderful Flux tucked into Mookas! Fab!
ReplyDeleteI like your ZIA very much! I it is a very dancing piece. I can understand the frustration with the white pen, I had them too. I first made my blacke spaces and tangled them with a white pen, and i didn't liked it at first. Still I went on, with the white spaces to tangle them with black, and my most favorite part the shading. After that I didn't mind that the white wasn't really white, becaus it seemed to dissapear by completing the drawing, so perhaps you should try that too, just complete it and what it is it is!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about white pens, and I think you managed a beautiful example of balance of ebony and ivory without the pen. I just love your curvy keyboard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful zia! I love the tangles you have chosen and the the composition.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, amazing, and more amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! I LOVE your keyboard, and wouldn't it be fun to actually have a piano with tangled keys? You've done a beautiful musical garden!
