While tangling for my Tangled Garden class for this weekend, I thought it would be fun to make a larger garden on a 9x12 inch sheet of paper. I often work on the beautiful toned papers, but when I reached for my paper pads, I accidentally grabbed the black paper. Well, that was certainly a happy accident!
I loved watching my night garden blossom in the moonlight. I explored about sixteen different patterns in this ZIA. After tangling and finding a few new favorite patterns, I shaded and added some color. I shaded with both a white charcoal pencil and the new Zenstone from Zentangle (yes, I have these in stock!). I enjoyed having two different levels of shading so to speak. The Zenstone provided a smooth, ghostly shade. The stone feels good to hold too. It's cool and has a nice weight.
Of course I needed some sparkle too to reflect the moonlight!
Welcome to my night garden....
So many things to love about this beautiful garden...wow. Antidots has always been one of my favorites to draw... I don't see it out there much but I love the way it looks. And your verdigogh is gorgeous. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! I wonder if Antidots isn't used as much since its similar in look to Bunzo. I like Antidots in my gardens and Zendalas.
DeleteI LOVE this, Emily! So striking, so different! I'm anxious to try it, and I think it is a GREAT addition to Tangled Garden classes. Stroke of genius. What's your fave white pen? I don't love the Gelly Roll.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann! I use the Gelly Roll and have learned to accept it for what it is.
