I'm surprised that the first one turned out as well as it did as I seemed to do it very quickly and without a great deal of thought last night as I was watching the television. I'd seen a couple of tangles I hadn't tried before - Footlites and Florz - so thought I'd have a practice. The individual 'beams' are not very well done, but I am quite pleased with the overall effect.
The second Zendala, I started with more care. I'd recently enjoyed doing Heartstrings as part of the 'It's a String Thing' weekly exercise, so included some more of those, along with Hollibaugh. Then I had to get off to bed. After seeing the children off to school, I finished the Zendala and am surprised that - to my eyes at least - this is a Zendala of two parts! The second set of tangles I used are very different - more light-hearted and open compared with the dense patterns I chose last night. I wonder if there's a reason for that? Do you ever finish something you've started in a different style?
Thank you Erin, I enjoyed doing this Dare very much!

wow love them both but the first one is my favorite
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Efie - I think I like the first one best too! Axxx
DeleteI think the second one is my favourite, more playful, and i like hearts of all kinds. Wonderful job. Don
ReplyDeleteThank you Don, and I'm delighted that you picked up the 'playful' thing - that's how I felt the morning I finished off the tangle!! Thank you - big hearts to you. Axxx
DeleteNice! Ireally like how the heart tangle came out in the 2nd one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane - I love the Heartstrings tangle - I could do it over and over and over.....Axxx
DeleteBoth are lovely; the first has great contrast and teh second is interesting because of the different feel of the tnagles. Yes, this is what sometimes happens if you stop drawing at a point and go on later.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne - I wondered if anyone else had noticed a difference when they'd stopped and started a drawing. I find this very interesting. Axxx
DeleteReally like them both because you've used some interesting tangles in interesting ways! 'Specially love the double Footlights that go out of the crescent, and your Heartstrings are wonderful and a great contrast to Moonrocks. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this really positive feedback, Sue. I'm very grateful because I'm still learning and finding my way through the 'tangles'!! Axxx
