Carole Ohl said...: Gorgeous flow. I'm loving the triangle thing you're doing. And the more I see the Morris-inspired technique, the more I love the layers it creates.; April 26, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Cookie said...: I like yours, Maria. The mookas on the lower left side does remind you of a butterfly. Love the background too of the black beads.; April 26, 2011 at 11:05 AM

Suzy said...: Wow, Maria, this is so DEEP! In the larger white sections with the delicate black lines -- did you put down the white area and then draw in the black after it was dry? And can you shade in the white sections with pencil? Looks like that's what you did, but I can't tell for sure.

I'm on tenterhooks to find out which black paper you're recommending -- I haven't been too happy with the white gel pens on the papers I've tried so far, but I haven't been able to find really GOOD black paper in nearby stores.

This makes me think of the new spring plants we're finally getting up here!

Zentangle said...: This piece was done on a regular Zentangle tile. I started with the 01 micron, did my usual tangles then went in and filled in the black spaces. When that was dry, I went in with the gel pen.
We are experimenting with the back paper, looking for the perfect combination of pen and paper, and will announce it soon. Thanks everyone for you support and participation. Life is good. M; April 28, 2011 at 7:34 AM
