This week's challenge from Laura at http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.co.uk/ was to use the tangle groovy.
I have not used this one before so it was a bit of an adventure.
My last attenpt is the following tile, where I used the tangle 3 time in 3 different scales and one of them I added some modifications. I like the overall finished effect.
Before that I had a new blue pen so I thought I would try something blue, I was watching TV and saw a flag and thought why not do something patriotic. So here's my Groovy flag. It's a bit skew whiff but apart from that it captures what I was looking for. I shaded in black which was a mistake. I think next time it should be blue shading. However this is my first attempt as colour so I guess you live and learn.
My first attmpt at this tangle did not work but I would be happy for any advice people have. I was trying to get the look of a vortex, but I did not manage to get the feeling of depth that I needed, it looks very flat, any hints on how to do this would be appreciated. Where it's black in the middle I started with a net then checks, but it all looked too busy so I just went for black in the end!!
All three attempts are beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. So many things to do with Groovy!
ReplyDeleteI actually love your vortex tile. It's so organic. The black adds dimension to it.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, love your tangleations and tenacity! 1 Vote for Vortex too!
ReplyDeleteGreat tiles! I love the black in your vortex. But my favorite is the first one - I love how you have used the lines going both ways in each "groove". Your mooka is really well done too.
