DC # 301 ~ DuoTangle: Paradox v.Diva Dance

First off, thank you very much for visiting my blog last week and a big thanks to those that left comments. I am not the best person in the world for posting comments, but do try to get around to all of the blogs. I am so inspired by all the artists at the Diva's blog, so I go through all of the blogs a lot. Thank you all for sharing!

I'm SO glad that Artoo had a successful Moebius Syndrome Awareness day and that his school and community are so mindful of the disorder that he has and that he is able to show the world that he is, in fact, perfect just the way he is. What an amazing family that the Diva has!

In the Zentangle Newsletter this week, they had a new video entitled "Kitchen Table Tangles" and Rick and Maria were demonstrating a duo tangle of Paradox and Diva Dance and showing how to intertwine them. The Diva decided that it would be a good challenge for this week and so we were challenged to do just that ... a DuoTangle of Paradox and Diva Dance. I loved that way that Rick had tangled his piece, but intertwining the two tangles just didn't seem to happen for me, but that's okay. I have never been fond of my Diva Dance, but I loved how this tile turned out . . . AND I think that the shading almost shows up nearly as dark as it is in person. Hope you like this and as always, comments and critiques are always welcome.
DC#301 ~ Duotangle: Paradox v. Diva Dance
Tools: Micron 01 Black pen, Graphite pencil for shading
I was going back through my blog and realized that I had not posted some of my challenges, so please indulge me as I post these. This first one is using the new tangle, "DraWings" and I must say that I really love drawing this one. It just seems to flow for me.


This next one is Icanthis. I wasn't sure that I was going to like this one, but I found it fun to work with as well. Here's what I did with it on a recent tile.


Please take some time and check out what the other fabulous artists have been doing with the Diva's challenge here and perhaps you may get inspired to join us in this fun. Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi there. Like you, I have taken to Dra-wings in a big way, it invites me to play. Icanthis is less successful, looking like a bad drawing of a leaf and far too representational. And the duo tangle? Well I enjoyed doing it, although the first one wasn't so clever, but I posted it anyway. I've played with it since and like it more. I think yours is lovely and really benefits from the black block background. Rather dramatic.

    Nice work. Your Paradox looks like a gem mounted in the Diva Dance. Drawings took a while for me to feel comfortable with it. Yours turned out well.

    I think all of the tiles you posted are lovely! I especially like the variation of sizes in your paradox and how it seems to flow over and under your diva dance. Wonderful! I also like drawings... that was a fun challenge as well, as it was the first time I played with that tangle. I have yet to try icanthis... I'll have to give it a go!
