Tackle it Tuesday

Challenge of the 31st of March - string #002 and some new pattern.
Well, all patterns are new to me, what can I say)). I am still pretty new to them, too))).
Patterns: Henna Drum, Kelp, Verdigogh and DL Nebula. Colored with tinted Derwent charcoals, white pen on black paper.

That's New To Me #13

Week #13 challengs - letter L. I chose Luv-A, Lukiline and Lotadots.
Drawn on a new blackpaper sketchpad from Derwent. So nice paper, so velvety and smooth. And a new white gel pen from Sakura (JAP) GellyRoll 0.8. It's really white and has such a nice line. A bit colored with Koh-I-Noor colorpencils (yellow. green and orange).
I am so happy with my new toys)))

Tackle it Tuesday - A-B-C

That's week challenge on Tackle it Tuesday was with abbreviation A-B-C.
My choice are Antidots, Btljoos and Chime.

Yesterday I tried a new kind of watercolor paper with "eggshell" surface and it was so wonderful to the touch and to the layers of watercolors, especially when it dried. I was just experimenting and decided that this colored paper would be good to tangle on. So, I took my liners and tangled. And then colored the tile with my Derwent Inktense.

It's looks a bit messy but I don't want to change anything. Right now I'm trying to be creative not perfect so "bit messy' is a strugle for me, indeed. :)

Well, here I go! Hope you like it ;)

Diva's Weekly #202

Started it last weekend, but didn't like the result. Today rethought the design and did it well.

So, according to Diva's weekly #202 we should've created a Duotangle with only two patterns, Copada and Chebucto, both by Margaret Bremner.
Also, I used the TanglePatterns String #94, which, imho, was the best way to explore those patterns.

I colored them with my Koh-i-Noor Polycolor 24 colorpencils set and at last liked the result ;)

That's New To Mee Week 4

And here we go! ;)
Week 4 of That's New to Me challenge got us letter U. And I was late to participate in the last week challenge of It's a String Thing, but I so much liked the offered string #084, that I just needed to do it :)
So, Tangle Patterns String #084 and patterns Upwall, Up and Across, Undling and Zinger for organic contrast) ).
For me that string looks like some sky-scrappers, so two of the patterns are geometric and it seems like there are windows in the walls. Undling looks a bit like a roof-top garden )).

Liners - SakuraPigma Micron, colored with Koh-i-Noor Hardsmuth Polycolor 24 set.

Really loved to play with all thisese patterns, even if Upwall was a bit hard for me to do right.

Tackle it Tuesday #57

#57 of Tackle it Tuesday challenged us for the J-A-N abbreviation.
Jan for me is Janus - one of Roman gods:

In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus (Latin: Ianus) is the god of beginnings and transitions, thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past.

The Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus.

Source: Wikipedia.

So, Janus was my first choice, I just needed right tangles. Which are Jilli, Jitters, Allium, Nippa and Neuron. Hope I did well :)

Liners - Sakura Pigma Micron, color - Derwent Inktense pencils.

Muster Mixed Challenge #2: Mix Arucas and Balloya

I found about this challenge thru one of the blogs I'm reading. And decided to challenge myself.
So, I tried to mix those two tangles - Arucas by Molly Hollibaugh and Balloya by Anya Lothrop. They are both so beautiful geometric tangles, and I later used them in one of my artworks.
But, here we go with MusterMixed challenge!
First - only liners

And then I wanted to color them with my colorpencils. And here what I've got

I've made a bit of mistakes with orange and yellow color, but you'll notice it if you're are really looking, I think ;)

Those blog also has a german language only alternative - freudemitzentangle.de
