Challenge #56 - Opposite hand challenge (aka Non Dominatrix* v.2)

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?

  2. oh 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.

  6. I 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.
