So, anyway, I was thinking about the challenge and got the idea to use an outline of my hand for the challenge. The original intent was to color it with this technique but I had the forethought to scan it first.
I printed out a copy and colored it - and hated it. I thought, "maybe it's because I don't have much of a border around the edges (I used a Strathmore 5x7 Drawing Card)." So I decided to draw another string, use the same challenge tangle patterns and then color it. I'm still not fond of the results - and I forgot to scan the black and white version first.
I understand the concept. I just didn't achieve the effect I was hoping for. I will keep practicing. Until then - Happy tangling!
I think your ideas were both very clever! And, I really love the color and the hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun and interesting effects.
ReplyDeleteI really love the hand. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the hand done with these two tangles! Hands are so much fun! Thanks for sharing the idea with the stripes giving definition to the hand... might have to play with that idea on my own - it's cool!
ReplyDeleteIt is all in your hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat job.

I really like the hand drawing with the challenge zentangles. I think it turned out great! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the challenge! (I have to hand it to you!)
ReplyDeleteI love your hand tile. It's really cool!
ReplyDeleteSo very clever! I've been wanting to tangle my hand for a while. That may be this evenings project. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow! I really love your black and white version with your hand! What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteClever and so accomplished! Love the combo in the hand; I think the color stripes in the second one detract a bit from the tangling....it's hard to see your great lines, but I like the concept a lot. I admire you for trying different ideas!
ReplyDeleteLots to see and think about here. I love how you've been experimenting. That stripe technique is fascinating. I'm going to give it a try also.
ReplyDeleteLove the tangling in your hand! It looks great.
