Starting a new series of rectangular postcards in color. These seem similar to the Journal Tiles I’ve been making but they are actually made in a completely different way, tangling with inks using a waterbrush. This forces me to work extremely large, something quite unusual for me and yet here is still tons of room for tiny tangling and hatching.

In this Journal Tile I combined Zander and Prestwood (Margaret Bremner) as main artifact. I tried to use a slightly different color than sepia/brown, but it’s a tad too pink for my taste :-)

After I filled it up with tangles - Hamsix (Alena Light), Betweed, Fluxecho (Lynn Mead) and others, I decided to shade this with ballpoint pen again - not my brightest decision.
