The task of this week's Diva Challenge is to create a duotangle of the tangles Marasu and Molygon. Both are official Zentangle tangles. I love Marasu much because it has so much depth after shading.
For this tile I tried to connect both tangles a little bit as both of them have a spiral shape .
Some days before I read a post by Maria Thomas about finishing of the surface with some coating. I used a colourless lacquer in two layers. The result is really stunning, it increases the brightness of the colours and the white charcoal is fixed. Attached you see the tile with the coating and without below.
The recent calendar pages... Goodbye February!
Both are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow. Your molygons are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you did Molygone! You've tied the two together magically, and the added finish really makes a stunning difference. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the way that you combined these two tangles, it is just beautiful. Amazing what the lacquer did. I haven't tried that yet, but your pictures of the before and after really show the difference.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the coating, it really emphasises the colour contrasts. Fabulous work.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. So, so beautiful
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the integration of the two patterns:-)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing what a finish does for the Renaissance tile. Your tile was beautiful to start with, but WOW!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteYour tiles are beautiful. I love the way you laid out the Molygons and embellished them to form yet another pattern. It's almost like you have to look for the Molygons because you're seeing the whole rather than the parts.
ReplyDeleteThe lacquer really gives the tile a shine and a depth. I love this tile and your use of sepia color. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! great job on marrying the two tangles together. Such a difference between the lacquered and non lacquered tile. A good way to fix the charcoal.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous tile for the duo challenge! What a difference the lacquer made! nice to see them together.
ReplyDeleteI really like how both the Molygon and the Marasu are unwrapping and getting intertwined! And that final treatment is so very rich and warm!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous composition and what a difference between the two tiles, I prefer the lacquered one, great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous duotangle! I saw it in the Waterfall on Mosaic and thought it was brilliant, but didn't have time to investigate further! Now I'll go back and add it to my "Morphology" mosaic. The laquer is stunning, too!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Deine Diva Kacheln sind wunderschön geworden, liebe Simone! Schönen Sonntag & liebe Grüße, Anja
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous duotangle! I LOVE the composition and overall effect. Fantastic concept. :)
