Noom, Pico, and Rigardu

iamthedivacztToday’s tile is a combination of the focus tangles from the different groups I participate in. Up first is the diva challenge to use the newly released tangle, Noom.

At first this one looked a bit difficult or that it would be a high-focus tangle. So I decided I better practice a bit first. When I first practiced it, I tried to draw it backwards because I already had an idea of how I was going to lay out my tile and thought I’d need to draw it backwards but that was faulty thinking. When I followed the step out, I found it was actually pretty simple. And then when I actually put it on my tile, I found that it was very nice to do each step all around and became very fluid. I enjoyed drawing it.

FB□1 ~ LifeofJoy.meThe focus for Square One: Purely Zentangle and Shading Zentangle is Pico by Staub Korn. The step out for this one is extremely short and seems pretty simple. It truly is simple but I got over confident and got some lines messed up, which is okay because this tangle is very forgiving and it turned out fine.

Then over on the ever growing awesome site, Pattern-Collections, there is a daily pattern and a weekly string, among other wonderful things. I like the string for this week but it is more suited to gem work, which is their focus this week. Thus I chose to use their string for last week. Strings can disappear in the finished tile and part of this one did. I really like this triangular string. Today’s pattern is Rigardu. I really like this pattern. It looks harder than it is.

I started by drawing the string. And then went right to work on Noom. As I said, it was rather relaxing because I was able to repeat the same stroke so many times. If I had made Noom shorter or smaller, it would not have been as relaxing.

Then I started adding in PIco and decided to make it go behind Noom and not be confined to it’s triangle. Then I started with Rigardu in the upper  triangle. I didn’t get them overlapped the way I liked and it looked awkward, so I tried to figure out what to do about it. I decided to blacken it in and then tangle in white.

I started blackening it in and realized I hadn’t taken a picture  or scan yet. So I quickly grabbed the camera.

And then I started shading and forgot to scan it beforehand, but here it is before too much shading was done.

Here is my finished tile.

Noom, Pico, Rigardu ~ Lifeofjoy.meI think I’m please with the outcome. :) My shading has really improved. It covers the mistakes in my line work. Oh great, I just saw some lines in Pico that I missed shading! Ugh!

Alright, here it is . . . really finished. :D

Noom, Pico, Rigardu ~ Lifeofjoy.meMaybe I should’ve just left it alone. Maybe it didn’t make a difference. At any rate I’m done with it now. :)

Update: One commenter mentioned that since you couldn’t see the last two side by side that you really couldn’t tell the difference, exactly. So I thought I’d see if I could do it.

  1. We can’t see the two last tiles at the same time so it’s difficult to compare it. But both are beautiful, perharps the last one is my favorite!

  2. Noom looked like it would be more complicated than it turned out to be. I like that you combined Noom with Pico. The Pico is such a simple tangle and it really looks great with the shading.
