Tangles: Oak leaves, Eyehook, Snircle |
One of the possibilities for making a ZT is to use a string. Myself I use this technique not very often. But this time I had to because it was the diva challenge. And no, not a selfmade string but string 001 from tanglepatterns.com. It is a very simple but very useful string for a ZT. First I drew the string, and then started to surf around the web for some inspiration. After looking through my practice sketchbook, I saw a practice, I once saw on the net,and just the perfect job for this string. I don't know the name of it (if it has one, yes it has it is called Claws Thank you Eden for your comment and naming the pattern for me). On the web I only saw a drawing of it and not a pattern sheet or something like that. But it is very easy to reproduce. So I started to make a rope out of the string and fill it with that pattern. Since I still was in Autumn mood off the Zendala challenge, I started in the corner with some Oak leaves. After that I filled the loop with one single pattern of Eyehook. It is a great pattern to use in a loarge format, because you can fill that again. After that I had a large space to fill. But I didn't know with what. So searching the web again. Still no inspiration....grr... So I started to divide the great space into smaller spaces, all starting from the loop of the rope. So that it looked like little ropes coming out of the loop. After that again with the Ipad on the couch for searching patterns. And thats how I came up with Snircle. A tangle you can use to fill space, to create a border or making a string with beans of. That was exactly wat I wanted to do. It is a very simple pattern, but with such a great effect. Judge yourself...
Heel speels.. daar hou ik wel van! .. mooi die Snircle.. dat vraagt om googlen :D.. fijn om ook een Ne of Be dame bij the Diva aan te treffen! :D
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDank je. Ik vind het idd ook fijn om eens commentaar te geven in het Ne. In het engels is het soms zo moeilijk om te verwoorden wat ik precies voel of bedoel bij het zien van een werk. Woon trouwens in Nederlands Limburg, vlak bij de belgische grens.
VerwijderenOh, I like your response to the challenge very much. That
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAstern you followed the string with is called Claws I think and I have used it in the past myself... It is a breat pattern. I was also drawn to your Oke (leaves in the corner, I love that pattern but mine never comes out half as well as yours did! Great piece.
This came out beautifully. Love the v pattern you have used over the lines following the line of the string - really effective :) The snircles look great, too - I love anything in a circle!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat een mooie speelse zia, Diana. Het is inderdaad prettig om gewoon in je eiegen taal te reageren als dat kan. Ik nam me een tijd geleden dan ook voor dat te doen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBy the way (lol); ik woon in Veenendaal.
Wonderful! Very creative use of your tangles.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReally love the flow of your tangles and how they grow from the string. Beautiful.
