I started this tile with a stencil outline as my string. I added the dot and dash to the outline. I know it has a name but I can't think of it. While I was trying to think of what else to add, I decided to play with the idea of a mirror image. After coloring in half black, I added the All Boxed Up but managed to mess the variation that I planned on using. No matter, it just adds more interest for the tile. After that was done, I added more black and kept going with Printemps.
This was a fun tile to draw. The gelly roll pen that I used for the white worked very well. Maybe it was because I was drawing over the prismacolor marker or maybe it is because it is really warm and the ink likes it warm. Whatever the reason, I was glad.
I hope that you all have a great week. Thanks in advance for your wonderful comments and for stopping by.
I love the positive/negative approach you took. Clever and striking!
ReplyDeleteWow, love this tile! Nice choice of black and white, together with Printemps makes a well-balanced tile.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to balance black/white… Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteYou did a tangleation with All Boxed Up that I was wondering about. Now I know. I see diamonds as another pattern formed by your straight lines. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteIs this ever Zen! yin, yang, repetition, serenity, balance, symmetry, diversity with unity. Depth! wow!
ReplyDeleteI love Printemps surrounding All Boxed Up!

I love the use of negative and positive space and by just adding Printemps (and that tangle I can't remeber the nme of either) you've kept it very simple and elegant. Zentangle, living up to it's name. Very nice!
