The Diva's challenge this week brings back the good ol' opposite hand challenge (AKA Non Dominatrix). Boy, does my left hand have a mind of it's own... Never wanting to stop at the line (making Paradox a challenge), circles are a little curvier than usual, my hand going on it's own little journey at times. I kept my lines wobbly (I like wobbly), bit my tongue a bit, held my breath when I tried making circles but tried to go with the flow.
I noticed I had to move the position of my lamp since my left hand was throwing weird shadows on my paper. I also found it easier to do the black fill in when I put my hand in the position I see my left handed friends use when they are writing. Now it all makes sense!
I use my old stand byes: Paradox, Flukes, Roller Coaster, Print Temps, some Tipple and Beads. Whew, filling in the dark and shading were Verrrrry challenging. But it will make my normal tangling process feel like a breeze!
I did it, by jove! It's all about exploration and stretching our boundaries, right?

Very pretty. I like wobbly too!
ReplyDeleteoh that's funny, you mentioned several things that I noticed too....not stopping at the line, the position because of the light, the hand 'going on it's own'!!! It certainly was a challenge and one that I enjoy....when it's over! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteWel it all fits together! I recognize your strugle!
ReplyDeleteThanks all, at least we're all facing same challenges :)
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful work! I was tempted to use paradox but dropped it. Very brave to do it! Well done! It has make me to appreciate the works I have done.
ReplyDeleteI think this weeks challenge has got us out of our comfort zone and the simple task has got us thinking and pausing and with high level of frustration there has been this moment of acceptance which has transpired into master piece. As i hop from one blog to another I am like wow with all the grumbles :D what an achievement! Lovely tile.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Every wobbly line had a mind of it's own...but when you look at the finished product...very pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteYour squiggly lines really add character to this tile!! I like it!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out lovely despite your struggles. I admire your bravery with some of the tough tangles you chose.
ReplyDeleteYou hit this challenge right on, unafraid to tackle the more difficult tangles. This tile has character, much like it's maker.
ReplyDeleteDOB rocks!
ReplyDeleteI like your wobbly lines and I think this tile has a very appealing whimsical feel to it!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, boundaries and going a bit further everytime. I love your tile! That hand going on a journey of it's own, can relate to that.
