DuoTangle, Diva Challenge #178
Laura's Diva Challenge this week was to use two tangles - starting with your initials - to create a duotangle. My intitals are A and H. I started looking through www.tanglepatterns.com to see what tangles were available under those letters. I knew right away I wanted to try aquafleur, which was developed by Maria Thomas. I just needed a tangle with some shape for my H pattern. Helen Williams has a beautiful tangle called heartstrings, that I thought would work perfectly with aquafleur. A little highlighting, a little shading, and I was all done. For this particular tile, I started with Lindy's Stamp Gang Cosmo Pink Starburst ink spray and added a little Cotton Candy Starburst to it. I love this line of ink sprays. They each have two color tones in one bottle. Beautiful colors! Then I tangled over the color with a Sharpie fine point.
Check out the Diva Challenge here, you can even post a duotangle of your own!
I like your tile, I also like the soft colored paper you used. Funny, our initials are the same, but we used si different tangles I used Allium and Hibred.
ReplyDeletehaha! that's awesome! there are a lot of A tangles and H tangles, i looked at a lot of them before i started. and the paper is just the official zentangle tile - that i added some color to :)
DeleteWonderful! Lovely combination of the two tangles!
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
DeleteI love both those tangles and isn't Helen Williams amazing! What you have done with the two tangles and soft colors is so very pretty and I love how it all flows!! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us!
ReplyDeletei do love helen williams! her work is inspiring and incredible! thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteLove this! the colors are so sweet, and the aquafleur is just terrific. I like how you've rotated it, and how you've placed two more organic or flowing patterns, inside a straight up and down grid/string. Very nice.
ReplyDeletethanks so much, heidi sue! i didn't know how it was going to turn out. i just kept drawing and turning the tile :)
DeleteCreative. So are these Aquahearts or Fleurstrings. I like the paper and the way that you combined these two tangles.
ReplyDeletehaha! actually, i was leaning towards aquastrings :) and the paper - believe it or not - is just a regular zentangle tile
DeleteVery pretty. The two tangles go well together. Love the soft colour of the background
ReplyDeletethis just flowed onto this colored tile - reminded me of yummy ice cream
DeleteSo BEAUTIFUL!! I'm definitely getting tiles again and rekindling my tangling with a few classes!! Love this
ReplyDeletegood! i'm glad you're getting back into it :)
DeleteI really like your use of Aquafleur. I am still experimenting and trying to be sure I have the hang of it. I also like the way you explain what you have done.
ReplyDeleteaquafleur was always an impossibility for me until i took a meredith yuhas class. she made aquafleur make sense and it's fun to draw now
Deletethank you so much!
