Zenbossing Part 2

"Creativity is a drug I cannot live without."   Cecil B. Demille

I recently posted a blog (here) about tangling on an embossed tile. I really loved the way it turned out, and based on the reactions I got from my readers, so did you. So I decided to try another one. 

I picked out another of my colored tiles, this one with several different colors in it. Not surprisingly, I forgot to take a picture before doing the embossing, but you can get the idea of what it looked like from this picture after embossing. The design is somewhat similar to the last one I did with all the swirls, but not the same.


As in my last tile, the first thing I did was outline all the embossing with pen. A few little slips of the pen, but not too bad.


Next I added some tangling.


And then shaded with my dependable pastel pencils.


Here's a closeup to better show the puffiness of the embossing.


I really enjoy this process and wish that I had more embossing folders that would work well with tangling. Most of the designs I have don't have enough space for adding tangles. So I may need to use the same ones again, just with different backgrounds and different patterns. Actually, it would be interesting to see how different I can make them, even though they have the same embossed design. I'll be back to show you if I decide to give it a try.
