While working on Made in the Shade, I learned so much about pen shading, stippling in particular, that I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I came up with.

Pen Shading Fun
I loved the Diva challenge this week: tangle without a string. I started with flux and things just sprouted from there. I worked on this tile while Birdie's band was sight reading new music, so I was under the influence of beautiful melodies and a few wrong notes. I wasn't impressed at all with this tile before shading. I meant to take a picture for you, but picked up my phone and ended up reading e-mail instead. (That is so me.)

Now, I'm off to edit. Wish me luck. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement last week. I appreciated all of your comments even if I didn't take the time to respond personally. With the way I get distracted...

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your tile. You did a great job of stippling. Every time I look at the tile I see something different and I love that. It has fantastic movement and appears so "alive" to me.
