Two Challenges in One Tile

This week I incorporated two challenges in my tile: the "Diva's Weekly Challenge: #203 UMT - Athitzi by Seven" and at Suzy Mosh Creations: "That's New to Me!" Weekly Challenge #5: "M". In the second challenge we are to use at least one "New to Me" pattern starting with the letter "M". I chose to draw the very pretty tangle Meringue by Kelley Kelly.



I also enjoyed using the tangle Athitzi by Seven in my tile for the Diva's weekly challenge. Athitzi has a textural feel that reminds me of the drawing style hatching. I used  this technique to create shading on some of the other tangles that I had used such as Dragonair by Norma Burnell. I also incorporated the tangle Akoya by SandyHunter into my tile by drawing it around Meringue.



I used a regular No. 2 pencil and black Micron pens in various sizes for shading. I really liked how the shading and hatching technique added dimension in my work. Now, I wished I had scanned in my tile before I had applied shading so I could of posted a "before" and "after" image of how shading makes a difference in one's art.

  1. Amazing!
    Marvelous!
    You know when I posted my tiles I mentioned that this pattern reminded me of Scratch pictures. Now I see your tile and I know exactly why I thought so: The whole tile seems "metallic" to me. You used the perfect shades for it and I really love the paterns and bubbles/pearls.
    Very good work!
