Happy Thanksgiving!
So much to be thankful for,
so many blessings in my life.
So many ways to thank God,
so many things I take for granted.
May God richly bless you and yours
in this next year,
as we all take time to just say
Thanks!
Indyrella - a new pattern to me. We learned it at our CZT training - Molly Hollibaugh taught it to us. I don't quite recall the explanation behind the name, but it seems like it had something to do with her daughter wanting to be a princess :). Fun to draw - nothing to it! First time I've worked with a black tile. Indyrella is versatile - right now I am working on an underwater picture and I'm using indyrella for little minnows. Hope to be through with it soon and will get it posted.
The recent CZT training I went to was the ninth such class held by Zentangle®. Rick and Maria came up with a new tangle for our class called IX, representative of our 'nine' designation in roman numerals. Kind of clever. This one is really hard for me to get flowing. This is the tile I drew in class as they walked us through it. I also have sketched out notes in my portfolio they gave us to work in.
A couple nights ago, I pulled out my instructions for IX and gave it another go. I like this one better, although I'm still not comfortable with my interpretation. I think I let the shading get the best of me, but I shaded with a grey pitt marker and can not change it. So. I think this shading is just awesome - right.
Then I remembered the gold pens and black tiles and gave this a try. Bigger, bolder, filling up the tile with the design itself. And I believe I like this one best. Can anyone tell me how to shade something like this?
