Weekly Challenge #263: Globular Grid

It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. In that time I have not had a lot of time to myself to tangle. With three boys, a change of direction career wise and a husband at sea, I have my work cut out for me. My boys are all growing up so fast.

When I walked through town today I popped into the art shop and treated myself to a new little sketchbook and have blown the dust off my Rotring pens and decided to see what the Diva Challenge was this week.

I started by drawing around my mug and marked out the grid. I decided that I was going to do a monotangle, something I didn't need to think too much about to get myself back into the swing of tangling. I had a quick flick through my old sketchbooks and chose "Hypnotic". I used the pens to draw the tangle. The grid made me think of a globe so I chose to use blues and greens and coloured in the string using my Inktense pencils (dry). Although I am pleased with the tile I think I should have kept the colour a little more subtle as I have lost some of the definition in the tangle.

Here is the tile before I added colour

And here is the finished tile.

Thank you for looking at my tile.
