After the Diva's (Laura Harms) fifth weekly challenge to do ORBS, and the launch of the new tangle(ation) IXORUS, I found myself still engaged in orbs and interested in Ixorus. I went a bit larger and full-color. I began with a two-pencil string and added some large circles with a template. I'm pretty happy with the result. Here are more orbs, m'orbs, "Orbs":

ReplyDeleteThis is so absolutely gorgeous. You've inspired me to try color again. I haven't been very successful with it in the past.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Suzanne McNeil was just here for our yearly visit and she mentioned you and told me to check out your beautiful Zentangles. She sure was right!
