Blind Sighted


Tangles used = finery, n'zeppel, purk, shattuck, featherfall, meer, printemps, flux, tipple


That Laura is an incredible woman. This week in her blog she has a video posted. It is from a performance that she gave. She sings like a broadway star. You can find that video and the challenge for this week here on her blog site. 
She encouraged us to let go and just find our Zen. Don't worry about the outcome. So I played along, because she is good with games. You should see the extreme hopscotch her son is playing this week.
I started out with the dots and the border, placed my pencil on the string and closed my eyes to draw this blind string. You can sort of see where I went out of the border. I went with it and tangled those areas too. 
I am taking a colour class with Marie Browning. We are using the Irojiten colour pencils. Rather than think too much about colour I just grabbed 4 pencils from one volume. They are designed to work together. The first tile was scanned before I added the colourless blender from the Tombow markers. Here is the second tile after the blending. Can you see the difference?
