Eccentric circles revisited

For some reason recently, I pulled out this piece that had been sitting around for over a year, very little work done on it. It was rectangular but I was able to cut it down to a square. One of the reliable things I do with art that isn't working is this: Draw a circle on it and see what happens. Works almost every time!
Tangles: Assunta, Black Pearlz, Coaster, Crescent Moon, Knightsbridge,
Munchin, Paradox, Pearlz, Prestwood, Providence, Tipple, Tortuca, Tripoli, Xyp
and stripes with highlights
I used black, various blues, and gray inks. One circle overlapped another and so on and so on. This happened shortly after the Diva's challenge to use circles so of course I had to title this one "Eccentric Circles". (Thanks Laura for the fun word play!)

This piece is another good example of how shading can make a tremendous difference. Here it is before. Rather dull in comparison I'd say.
