"Bales" is Challenge #120

Bales is a tangle pattern that I like a lot, I really love the repetitive movements when drawing the curved lines! So the Diva's Weekly Challenge #120  to:
"Play with this tangle, really open it up and take it for a drive... put the top down and let your hair loose!  Where can it go? What can it do. What are you and Bales capable of together?
Have fun!"
did not fall on deaf ears!!
Besides the Micron pens I wanted to use some permanent markers. That's why I took an A4 sized Fabriano "White Ecological Artist Paper", 94 lbs. And these were my "tools":


With the markers and the Micron 0.8 I drew some lines across the paper, then again a number of lines to create a certain kind of grid. The two circles were made with glasses. After that Bales, Bales, Bales and more Bales with all the markers and pens except the Edding 500.
Can you see, how much fun it was to create this ZIA??

  3. WOW! I love this. All the interplay between black on white and white on black is seamless and some is so intricate and perfect. The look of the white lines on the black stripe is such a fresh take on it - really different from everything else I have seen. Fabulous job.
