ZENDALA DARE # 76 - No.2

I have a really hard time drawing in black & white.  Not because I find it difficult, but because I just LOVE COLOR SO SO SO SO MUCH!  That being said, b&w can be much more striking than color in many cases.  I'm just not so sure this is one of them...

This go 'round was tedious.  & don't you hate it when you are almost done with something & you mess up!  Take a look, it's not hard, the boo-boo's just jump right out at you. 

Anyhow, I wanted to do a zendala in just grayscale... so that's what I did... & here it is.

tangles used: bilt, hibred, bandola, dl sunray, pomegranate

Thanks to the wonders of technology (specifically a high resolution scan,) I plan on taking a short-cut & printing out a version of this with no shading so I can go back & color it.  I figure I'll update this when I'm done with some vibrant versions of this zendala.

ZENDALA DARE # 76 - & possibly a new tangle???

I love the new zendala dare template #76 from The Bright Owl .  It somehow fit in perfectly with 2 things I've been contemplating these past few days: color wheels & what I think might be a new tangle made by meeeeee!  Think is the operative term, I don't want to be stepping on anyone's toes in case there is a tangle out there somewhere just like this that I have been unable to find.  (sooooo, if this looks familiar to you, let me know!)

Without further ado, here's my (what I'm sure will be first-go) Zendala Dare #76

colorwheelKLB

I'm calling this colorwheelKLB - because I basically just used my initials to tangle this.

The tangle I think I may have created I'm going to tentatively call "k'sK's"

Incidentally, the B's I used in Zendala Dare #76 have the same proportions & can be laid out in exactly the same way as the K's.

I'd like to re-do this a bit brighter.  I bought a brand new box of Prismacolor Verithin pencils this weekend, & wanted to use them.  I know I could have done a bit better on the coloring, but I wanted the colors to blend into each other, & the lighter you use these hard pencils, the better the color layers.

If anyone is wondering where the L's are, the outside diamond parts uncolored with black dots in them are my L's.

Please let me know what you think!
