3D Triquetra

I love Zentwining (Lynn Mead) and Umble tangle (Zentangle). Just love everything about wrapping something with ribbons, almost mummy-like. The next class Art Clubbers and I will explore is a 3Dimensional Triquetra (a 3-pointed knot). This is a recorded video class, since I will be visiting with my family after 3 long years of absence. Here's the before and after shading:

Here's a version with an ornate border:

Last week the lovely Jane Osborne conducted us through a session at CZT After Hours creating a star string. After I filled it up with tangles - Hamsix (Alena Light), Betweed, Fluxecho (Lynn Mead) and others, I decided to shade this with ballpoint pen again - not my brightest decision. I think I might have overdone it this time…

A few weeks ago Art Clubbers and I worked on a “Tangle Combo” (a new series of lessons) between Verve (JJ LaBarbera) and Paradox (Zentangle) and I was playing with a duotone version. I enjoyed it so much I created this other picture that reminds me of a landscape with trees in front. This project definitely coming to Art Club very soon.

Ballpoint Shading Mandala
Ballpoint Shading Mandala

This mandala took me a LOOOONG time. I was determined to NOT use a pencil for shading, only ink. After testing the ballpoint shading technique over another tile, I set out to shade this monster. It took me 4 days but was worth it, the depth achieved by the ballpoint is remarkable.
