This week the challenge is to use tangle called fengle. It looked like a fun one, so I gave it a shot. Soon it stopped being fun. Lets just say that it didn't go the way I hoped it would. I made numerous versions and it always looked crowded and kind of meshed up without real contrast anywhere. I must have drawn at least thirty of those and nothing. Making zentangles and zentangle inspired creations should be relaxing, but for me it turned frustrating. At that point I decided to give it just one single last shot. Something super simple. Do it and be done with it. This is what I got:
Speaking of tangles to play with, here's what I got in the mail today:
Totally Tangled by Sandi Steen Bartholomew
Yaaaay! I am super excited. I leafed through the book and already can see that I am going to have so much fun with it. I'll tell you more after I give it a more detailed look and start trying out stuff that's in it.
Along with Totally Tangled two other art related books arrived, but I'll write about those in another post.
It turns fengle into a lovely flower! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt turns fengle into a lovely flower! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like your fengle - with the broad "petals" it looks great! Fengle is a very versatile tangle, and I think yours is wonderful. It's nice to see a new interpretation!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you try again, you have created a beaut bloom!
ReplyDeleteShelly, after seeing all the other amazing entries to the challenge, I do want to try again. One can do so much with it. It's a shame the fengle and I had such a rocky beginning. It does deserve a second chance.
ReplyDeleteHope you indeed give it that second chance, it's so gorgeous. And your start isn't even all that bad!
ReplyDeleteI just got that book too...it's awesome! Love your tangle!!
