When I saw the Diva's challenge to use Fanz (http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/) by Susan Goetter, I immediately realized I've been making it too hard on myself. Yes, these scales are round at the top unlike those in nature. But hey! they are just so much simpler to draw and I'm all about easy. Hmmm...maybe I should turn the Fanz upside down. (Duh...and slap on the forehead sound)
So I made a rather squatty little pineapple my string (that's what fit on my tile, that's why) and named it "Fanz-ee Pineapple."
Included are a beaucoup of patterns...
Scallops and Star Map (Susan McNeill)
Paradox, Nipa (only 1 - it's really bad), Printemps, Flux, Knightsbridge (Zentangle(r))
Spawn (Soshi)
Beadlines (Margaret Bremner)
and probably something else I don't know has a name.
Color is with colored pencils and colorless blender and shading w/2 different drawing pencils.
Do you think I need a background?
