Hamadox

"Be the most brilliant color in the box."     Unknown

A quick post to share my tile for the Diva's challenge this week - to use the tangle pattern Hamadox by Diana Schreur. Hamadox, which I was using for the first time, is a combination of Hamail and Paradox, and fun to draw. 

I began with another one of my alcohol inked backgrounds (these tiles are almost ready to be added to my Etsy shop!), but this time a Zendala tile.



I drew my Hamadox, choosing to use 3/4 of the complete pattern that normally goes all the way around in a circular shape. And I added a simple background grid.
  

 
Then I shaded using graphite and added a few dots with white gel pen.



And when I finished I realized that I used a tile with the same coloring as my last Diva post. Oh well... I guess I like these colors!

  1. I like those colours too! I like how the movement of the colours of the tile gives it so much texture. Your Hamadox is terrific! But the shading makes it look amazing!

  3. Your colored zendala is gorgeous... and then you add your beautiful tangling to create a masterpiece! The grid background is a perfect complement to your lovely hamadox. Your shading and line work is wonderful.
