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.
Lovely tile and thank you for sharing your process.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!! So bright and cheerful! I too want to play with alcohol inks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece. Thank you for sharing how to move alcohol inks to water color paper. A "must try" for sure!
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile! Like your ´NZeppel in Flux and the colours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition and color!
