Did another two for one challenge this week. I thought it would be quicker. I am not sure it was. The Diva Challenge, A Bug's Life was to use the video released by Sakura as inspiration to create a tile. You could use color, hide a bug somewhere, create a tile inspired by nature, or shade the tile using color. The Bright Owl posted a little different template than is usual. It had more open space or fewer sections. That created some interesting challenges. I did put some "bugs" in mine, kind of. They are a little weird, but chose to use color. All of the color is done with Sakura Metallic Gelly Roll pens. One of the things that adds to a challenge like this is that I feel like I am going back a lot to touch up spaces. Some of this is that the Gelly Roll pens have a larger ball than the Microns and the ink flows differently. That being said, overall I am pleased with the result of this. When I started putting in the color, I was not sure. I hope you enjoy it.
Tangles used: Shattuck, 'Nzeppel, Flux, Strircles,
Was hard to take a picture to get the metallic quality. This is a little dark but the flash as too light. Probably would help if I had a camera with more pixels, but not going to happen. Have only looked at a few tiles so far, but would encourage you to go to
I am the Diva and
The Bright Owl to check out the great pieces of art.
Thanks for visiting. As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.
Go Tangle !!
Very nice! It's true that the Gelly Roll pens have a bigger point and it's always a pity that you cannot see their beauty in a scan or photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of the two challenges. I have a great monitor and can see the pen effect well. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteNice way to combine two challenges. The color looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat´s lovely! Especially I like the centre. Wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteAh, Donald, killing two birds with one stone. Smart! The outer portion of the template did lend itself to a bug shape and you did a great job of utilizing that. I especially like the use of sparkle in the interior sections.
ReplyDeletewonderful interpretation, Donald. Looks great!
