This week, Laura, aka "the Diva" challenged us to tangle using only 2 tangles: Quandary and Fengle. Yikes. Not my favorite tangles by any stretch of the imagination. I like both of these tangles when other people do them, I just never like mine very well.So I started, and I started, and I started. Finally, I got one with the "arms" of the fengle almost even. There wasn't enough room for another arm, so the quandary escaped and began to float away.
My next tile was a little crooked and kind of "blah", so I abandoned that and tried making one bigger to see if I could draw the arms even. This one is better, but not great.
It made such a difference on this one that I went back and shaded the second tile. It looks OK now, too.
As usual, if I had followed the Zentangle process to completion, including shading, and withholding judgement, it would have made a huge difference in my enjoyment of the time I spent tangling. I hope you learn from my lesson and enjoy the process! Have a great week.
Your tiles are beautiful, and I especially love the first one, with Quandary spilling out!!
ReplyDeleteI really love all three tiles! The escaping Quandary is great!
ReplyDeleteAll three are great, but I also like the way the Quandary are escaping, or, are they being captured by Fengle?
ReplyDeleteOoh la la the middle fengle is fab!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shelly, I love the middle one the most. Although I also like the other ones.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, Cris! The middle one is my favorite, and I love how the shading makes it jump off the page! I love to see before and after pics of shading. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the middle one! Amazing what some shading can do!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, your fengle tiles. I love the second one shaded and unshaded, that one looks very great
ReplyDeleteAll three are beautiful! The second one is my favorite. Great shading!
ReplyDeleteTo me they are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing your procces. It's recognicible!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun! Your fengle is gorgeous from every angle.
ReplyDeleteI hope all your Quandry does not escape. I like that one but I agree with you that the shading of the second really adds to it. Like your comment about the process, I think sometimes even when we know it we have to experience it to reinforce it.
ReplyDeleteI like them all!! Nice job! :0) Peace be Yours
ReplyDeleteYour Fengles are lovely. The arms on Fengles do not always have to be the same length or width. However you did a great job and try our design is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe shading really does make a difference! Lovely work. NancyD
ReplyDeleteThey are great, but to be honest I like the first one most.
