I know that Erin was excited about this template but I have to admit, I was not so much. When I first saw it I did make the association with a spider web and I thought Erin's first one was great. I however just hit a wall. As I looked at it I did not see how I could use tangles in the space provided. I decided to use a black tile so this would limit it also as the gel pens do not make as thin a line. In line with the season, I did add a little spider in the center. The rest was just lines and arcs. I did use a gray Fabrico marker to do some shading. I do not have one of the new soap stones yet. I am not totally disappointed with the result, but definitely did not get as much enjoyment doing this as I usually do. Enough rambling, it is getting late and I need to get to bed. Here is what I finally ended up with. I hope you enjoy it.
I really cannot identify any tangles that I used.
It is early in the week so there are not a lot of things posted yet. Would encourage you to visit The Bright Owl often during the week to see what others have done. I know I am. I am curious to see how others handled this template.
Thanks for visiting. As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged and appreciated.
Go Tangle !!
A nice design. I had a look at it in photoshop and even reversed it, and decided I would have added some colour, probably glitter with gel pens, but also to this version on black. I like the choice of patterns (what's in a name!) especially the bauble effect round the centre.I shuddered at that fat spider, but I didn't see it immediately so it might need more emphasis.
ReplyDeleteIts very beautiful. It looks like a lace doily. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like your zendala very much. Niche line work and great doing it on a black zendala paper. Your spider looks very real. I like the ball ornament border, and the outer border. reminds me in some way at Christmas in combination with a halloween spider inside. Great.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The more that I look at it I am more comfortable with it.
DeleteLovely Donald! It's like Belgian lace!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Was not even thinking of that when I was working on it.
DeleteI agree with Carmela & Anne - it's like lace! (Spooky lace from a haunted house!)
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone; this is very lacy looking. I really like white on black, you've done a great job with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI agree with the previous comments, too! I like this wonderful lacy zendala with this the spider in the centre!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words.
DeleteI think its beautyfull
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteVery nice on the black, Donald. I have the soapstone but find myself going back to the white pastel pencil for the "shading" anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope to be able to compare them soon.
DeleteI really like the lacy effect that the white on black gives--beautiful! Great spider too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The spider was the easy part.
DeleteNice take on what I consider a difficult dare! I also think it's lacy, and your spider is terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was not sure what to do when I saw the template either, but it did turn out. One of the wonders of Zentangle®
DeleteYou always have great and interesting work! This tile is especially nice.
ReplyDeleteHappy tangling!
