Weekly Challenge #229 Guest Blogger Sandy Hunter, CZT



This week The Diva is still on vacation. The guest Blogger Sandy Hunter launched this challenge: "Shift your focus to the negative space, so the white part of your tile is the focus of your tangle". 

Like Sandy Hunter, I tend to make my tangles really busy because I do not succeed to stop to tangle, i always try other pattern. many times i decided to leave a white area as the focus of my drawing and each time I found these designs more balanced : The following are two examples of these tests :
In my opinion, this tile seemed too busy.

I tried the same one with the central area left white :

I prefer this second version.  And you ?

Another drawing done in 4 parts. The central area is a tree ( highly stylized indeed with branches and roots) :


I'm going to tangle a new one this week. But often it's difficult for me  to finish by Friday evening.

Thank you for your comments.

    Very lovely, Christine. I do prefer the second one with more white - it works perfectly for this challenge as it is the focus. Ax

    I love the ensemble. The white space in it reminds me of one of those combs used to hold your hair in place.

    They are awesome... Make me think about Hundertwasser a bit.

    Firstly, I agree with you, the second one would be my preference. Secondly, I just love that four piece ZIA, absolutely stunning. I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" your idea and try something on similar lines. So thank you for sharing your work and thank you again for giving me an idea to work on.

    Everything is drawn and illustrated so well. It's so full and has such a presence on the paper. Very nice artwork. Sarah

    These are beautiful! You have a lovely flowing style. For the first two tiles, I admit I like the first (more filled up one). You did leave just enough white space in that lovely busy design to make it interesting. I really love your four part ensemble. The tree sprawled across the tiles is amazing, and your tangling creates such a lovely garden. Love them all!

    Great work! I love both of the Diva tiles and I don't think the first one is too busy. Your 4 piece ensemble is absolutely gorgeous!
