Hirari at the Party
Today is October 10, 2021 and the tangle chosen by Stephanie Jennifer for Inktober Tangles is Hirari, by Midori Furuhashi. A lovely tangle!
I also used a Rising Daisy String and Sprocket (Vera Giesbrecht), an old time favorite tangle. Here's the before and after shading/coloring:
The tangles were applied over tan tile, using distress ink for the background and colored pencils for the shading. Here's a close-up for you to inspect:
I REALLY like how this turned out!
Feel free to pin or share these pictures if you like.
This arch is adapted from a Renaissance arch from the book “Suggestions of Design” by John Leighton and James Colling (1880) found on archive dot org. I also added some Found Flowers on a frame around the arch. Shaded and colored with Inktense and Pitt Artist Brush pens. If you goto my blog you'll see I wasn’t able to stay faithful to the original - I love the way my hand just takes over and adds whatever details it feels like.
