Wyfore Medallion

Still loving Wyfore and the Wyfore/Bronx Cheer hybrid. Here’s a medallion constructed with a few Wyfore tangleations. Here’s a mini step-out:

I don’t use a regular sketchbook like many artists do - I prefer to sketch loose ideas on my ipad using Procreate, then print it out into recipe cards. Here’s the sketch recipe card for this one.

This is obviously a planned, designed Zentangle-Inspired piece, not intuitive as classic Zentangle normally is. I feel that each type of drawing has its own pros and cons. On the plus side, designing your drawing can produce a very finished, polished tile; on the other hand, it lacks the spontaneity and surprise that classic Zentangle does. I love them both - but perhaps the intuitive classic Zentangle is my favorite these days, as I’m always surprised at the results, good or bad.

Here is a close-up image for you to inspect:

A few weeks ago one my friends suggested a “skyline” string over a mass of water. I used mooka3d, Alfie (Angie Gittles), Nik (Bunny Wright) and Dillo-tant (Lisa Goldman). I wonder if the buildings are emerging or submerging? :-)

I am always surprised at what comes out of my pen when drawing intuitive art. I don't think this classifies as Zentangle, but it was drawn in the same intuitive and unplanned manner, other than wanting to use a couple of fragments I had drawn on my recipe cards.

Today Art Clubbers and I worked on Part 2 of the lovely Tree of Life ZIA project. We worked on the frame, background and shading.

Last Thursday Art Clubbers and I worked on Part 1 of the lovely Tree of Life ZIA project. We created the line-art for the tree branches, leaves and flowers. In Part 2 we'll work on the frame, background and shading.

I think we are all a little in love with Tomàs Padro's new tangle Medusa. Here I'm posting two simple tiles where I explored the shading and different ways to construct the underlying ogee grid. I suspect Medusa is going to appear more in my work very soon!

I had a blast making these two pieces combining Wartz (Genevieve Crabe) with Sinkhole and Spherify! The Art Raffle gave me this difficult combination, but it was a fun experiment and I'm super happy with it.

Two pieces with Hollis over a triangular string, sprouting from a fancy triangular fragment. One of them also plays with 3D cuffs over Wyfore. Fun!

Last week Art Clubbers and I had a Tangle Play session including Wyfore - where we explore tangles and make index cards - and I decided to combine it with Drawings over a triangular string. Very fun to play with!

I’m still incredibly inspired by project pack 20. In these images I combined Drawings and Myseliam (and some other stuff too). Can't get enough of these Blossom tangles.
