Picture as a String in Brown

This week I tried something I’ve wanted to try for a long while: using one of my old pictures as a string. I printed a previous picture very lightly over thick watercolor paper and proceeded to tangle over it, using my new favorite shading technique with brown inks. The picture took several days to finish and I will confess that it was a little too large for my taste (tangled area measures 4.5x7 inches). That’s a LOT of tiny tangling! But I’m happy with the result.

Tagh String

Another Art Raffle pulled out by some friends May 23 2024 - I made a few alterations and switched a few cards. I used Tagh (Zentangle) as a string and then spherified the other tangles. I used Crease (Sam Taylor), Gust, Tagh and Quabog (Zentangle). The raffle also asked to use Decorative Borders which I happily obliged. The challenge here was in the shading: I used only brown and sanguine ink, no pencils at all.
