ValenTangle 2018: Day 6

Quite a quick one today, using the suggested fragment of a heart in a triangle, in Tripoli form, filling a heart string. White and gold gelly roll, red micron, white charcoal shading.  

12 Days of Zentangle: Day 10

This was demonstrated in the Zentangle video on the larger black Apprentice tiles, with Paradox as the reticula, or framework, and Striping filling the triangular sections of Paradox. I stuck with the regular black tiles, and used Paradox but filled it with Tripoli (with a bit more Paradox in the centre). Finished off with a touch of white charcoal shading.

12 Days of Zentangle: Day 9

Day 9 reflected on the introduction of the Bijou tiles in tan and black. Rick and Maria demonstrated cutting a mixed pair of the tiny tiles along the diagonal, then sticking then together in a yin/yang style. The main tangle in this example is Mollygon, but any tangle can be used in a reflected style. I used full-sized tiles as I don't have Bijous (2"x2"), although I could have just cut these down!

Moonlight

Discovered the other day that the moonlight gelly roll pens fluorescent under UV light! After purchasing a new UV torch I did a fairly quick tile to try it out. They definitely glow nicely under UV, but it's really hard to photograph! Not sure if the problem is the camera on the phone not coping with the strange light, or if there's too much white light mixed in with the UV, causing too much reflection on the black tile. It's an interesting effect, anyway - will try out some different photographic techniques.
First photo below is in normal light, second is in UV.
