The Diva (Laura) asked us to go out of the box...Not a problem... but I generally live out of the box all the time... So I really had to think on this one...
Tangling has always been an out of the box activity for me in 99% of all ways... so I really had to think... can you smell the smoke??? Think.... think... think.... okay... I bought a sepia .005 point that is really small... and I found that I only have used it once... my black one I use for special areas etc... the since I only have a .01 and a .005 sepia... I tend not to use them... I really love a .02 or a .03 black.. . so that is sort of out of the box a little... right??
The other thing I really have trouble with is things in boxes... tangles done in boxes... so I thought I would do some of that... and then also working on a small area is always a problem... as I love to have flowing lines, and fill a whole sheet of 8x11 paper... I love tangling... I can also fill a huge room with all kinds of things in no time... also a house!!!! Yikes... I have a PHD in that...
Well... here are my two examples...
Anyway... this is only about 3 inches square... not my favorite.. and it was done with a sepia pen... . Looks black to me... and it had a .005 point... not my favorite to tangle with... but since we are working out of the box... I had to stay in the box... does that make any sense?? ? Just re-read it... I love to be out of the box... all the time...
Oh we all need to go out of the box... and it does feel good to a degree... but I do love my flowing lines, my flowers... and all the tangles that flow and mix so very easily...
Thanks Laura for the challenge... and staying out of the box is a good thing...even though that means I have to go into a box situation... LOL... so very good...
Hope you have a good day... and that you get out of the box... no matter what it is... and that you find pleasure and learning in it...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope to see you soon...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Being an out of the boxer too....I really am impressed that you were able to stay in the box and do it very nicely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I wouldn't know you were uncomfortable with it if you hadn't told me (well, and if I didn't regularly read your blog)!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your approach to this challenge. Beautiful tiles!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Karen-your grids are so neat and uniform that I never would've guessed you don't particularly care for doing them. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteBoxes or non-boxes I love them both!
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful and so neat and detailed. You really can't tell that you dont like being in a box!
ReplyDeleteLove both your ZIAs even though they are quite different from what you usually create. I agree, being out of the box is somewhat uncomfortable - lol. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with both!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Bonnie, I'm impressed. Your tangles are beautiful, and you did manage to stay in the box (I think I did see a rebellious purk though (winks). Great job on both pieces!
ReplyDeleteBoth your boxed in boxes are really lovely!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on staying in the box! Purk is one of my faves, too, and I love the way it's rebelling against your box, lol! Beautiful designs!
ReplyDeleteGetting out of the box by staying in the boxes, I really like this twist!! And the ZIA's are wonderful!
