Laura Harms' Challenge for Week 13 is to complete a tile or Zentangle inspired piece using ONLY your NON-DOMINANT hand.
Yikes! I really didn't like doing this challenge, but like a good trooper, I did it. Not enjoyable, frustrating, no control at all!!!!!
Laura said "We can't get to this place of vulnerability with our dominant hands, at least not easily." Your preaching to the choir mama!
I did look at other challengers before I began, how did they get theirs to look so controlled. My left hand is not my friend, I do not know her... Do not want to know her... I rant...
Laura gives permission to make a mess and license to create Zentangle MAYHEM! I took that literally and ran with it.
I thought shading might help, NOT! Used a HUGE Sharpie marker with a big piece of paper, used tangles that I enjoy. When I look at my rendition I think of the movie "Tootsie" when they are shooting Dustin Hoffman in drag as Tootsie. As the director says to the camera man "I'd like to make her look a little more attractive. How far can you pull back?" Cameraman answers: "How do you feel about Cleveland? So, if I could squint, move back a few miles, and look again, I might appreciate this tangle. Don't know if I'll give it another try but it was an experience. I never realized what a control freak I was with my tangling!
