Fluxzeppel

"If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world."     Michael Schenker

I haven't participated in the Diva's challenge in a long time. But this week the challenge is to create a duotangle - a tile using just two tangles - with Flux and N'zeppel. Two of my favorite patterns. So I just HAD to do it. 

I decided to tangle on a tile that I had created using alcohol inks for a background. Just to show you my process, here is the piece of yupo that I inked...



Then I scanned it, chose the section of that design that I liked the most, cropped it into a 4x4 inch size, and printed it on Bristol vellum paper for tangling. This is what it looked like...




Then I tangled...with just N'zeppel and Flux. I decided to shade the large Flux shapes using graphite, and the small Flux shapes using pastel pencils. I really love the way this one turned out...



I hope to do another duotangle for this week's challenge... I'll see if time permits.

  4. Beautiful tile! I love your idea of making tiles by scanning the ones done on Yupo paper. I have just started to play with Yupo paper and alcohol inks. Very fun!

  7. Good to see your again! I love that paper (I do the same all the time, the difference is that I color the paper and directly tangle on it) and what you did on it.
