I didn't have those percentages when I went about it in a more traditional pre-planned format. It always looked stiff or agonized over.<br /><br />So, yeah I like this approach, actually in most things I do. Like cooking or sewing or going for a walk. Never know what direction it will take me.<br /><br />mariaZentanglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161442418645198968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384426562036266920.post-57546459411017014002013-07-08T20:53:57.951-07:002013-07-08T20:53:57.951-07:00I would say it's more going on faith until you...I would say it's more going on faith until you see the thing that would make someone want to look at the picture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384426562036266920.post-73619254492408308272013-07-07T12:38:19.592-07:002013-07-07T12:38:19.592-07:00I am totally not a planner.

I start with a vague idea of where I am heading with what subject matter but where I begin and where and when I end up are often not connected at all. Since my work is photo based and largely executed in Photoshop, I have the luxury of being able to duplicate any given stage where there are different options I could take, and follow both (or all) of them as I explore.

I have to start & just go along, try it & see. Zentnalge suits me & I'm becoming very fond of the black & white for I don't have to made decisions about colour. I love having the option of using the Icosahedron to pick tangles..........
