Challenge #119 "Ebony and Ivory"

Black and white.  Basics, right?  This challenge was such and eyeopener for me.  I had never thought to make a tile in which black space and white space were evenly distributed.  This challenge came from the Zentangle blog and the lovely Diva.  Thank you for combining forces. Along the way I have seen many new possibilities which I will need to play with in the coming days or weeks.

I completed a tile that I had started a while back, but had lost focus in.  It was sitting on my desk in front of me when this challenge came along.  I knew where I had to take it. Here is my Ebony and Ivory.  So much fun.


Schway,Verve, Tri Cube, Yincut, Black Micron, White Sakura Gelly Roll



I neglected to shade the original piece, so I have shaded and reposted.  I am not sure if it has made that much of a difference, but now I feel it is completed. :)

  12. Real stunner. Great job with alternating the each tangle. Your verve is great. Not sure I would have the patience to do this with that and Yincut.

  13. Debra, this is great! I love your Tri Cube and detail work. The contrast is stunning. Your combo of Schway and Verve was so masterful, that I almost didn't see the arrows! Very nicely done.
