Challenge #177 "Truffle"

The challenge come to us this week from Carolin Broady the youngest CZT so far! She has come up with a tangle called Truffle which you can see HERE. I commend her on designing a tangle, it is much more difficult then it may seem, at least for some of us (me). I struggled with this one all week to come up with some thing I liked and then just decided to draw. Well, I have not had the drawing bug for a while, I guess I am on the wane right now in the drawing sector so what I ended up with is a weird sort of an underwater, way underwater, creature. A challenge is a challenge, so here it is.


I used a yellow micron on the tan tile this week as an experiment.Not sure I love it but, it was worth the try. Truffle, Verve, Black Pearlz and Zinger

  1. I think it looks great! I like the look of Truffle but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Hopefully tomorrow. But I love what you've done with it. It's so fun to see how everyone puts their own spin on it.

    Thanks for sharing.

  2. I like the yellow ink, good idea! It makes the tangles recede which puts them more in the background.

    1. Thank you Margaret, I'm going to play with it a bit more. Probably should have before I put it in a challenge! Ha.

  3. Love your creatures -- they look like they are eating the Black Pearlz! Love how you have made truffle look so three dimensional.

    1. Yes, I used to be so afraid of color but, a little here and there seems to sit just fine with me. Thank you.

  6. I don't see signs of struggle, Debra, though I know sometimes it feels like some tangles don't flow as others do. Truffles is lovely and looks wonderfully organic here with your flowing Verve background and clever little details. Axxx

  7. I love the way that you did your truffle and your work on the tan tiles is great. It surely doesn't look like you struggled with it.

  8. Your truffle reminds me more of shells than a creature. I like the inclusion of Pearlz and the yellow in Verve is a nice touch. Like you I am a little intimidated by color. I really tried to stretch that on my 2nd attempt on this tangle. Nice job.
