Challenge #268 … “A Bit of Black”

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Tangles by the Sea

I haven’t participated in the Diva’s Challenge for a while. I’m getting in on this one a few days late … only being saved by the Canadian holiday of “Victoria Day” today. Thank you Queen Victoria!

I created a couple tiles and couldn’t decide on just one …

The Zendala has a mass of Jetties and looks too black.
Perhaps I went a little overboard with the “bit of black” theme?!

The second tile was loosely constructed starting with an orb in the middle. Then I just continued to grow out using Mooka on all sides, adding Henna Drum, Poke Leaf and Flux. Last week, I taught a class on Zendalas so I think the circular shape with Mooka was a carry-over. I liked trying to get a Zendala feel in a free form manner … no border or string, just flowing out from the center. I should have used a Zendala tile, but I grabbed a piece of paper I had stuffed in my journal and tangled away. Definitely didn’t follow any basics on this one!
