Diva Challenge #191-Monotangle "Betweed" Part 2

Laura's challange for this week is to create a Monotangle, using just one Pattern. I'm a bit fuzzy on what constitutes a pattern. It seems that Orbs is not a pattern, but an embellishment. So I created a second Tile with a different design approach from the  first Tile, and used color and Orbs to spice things up a bit. This challenge is drawn on a Tiepolo Tile, just like the first. I'm really liking this stock. The coloring is water color pencils, and this stock loved it. I'm also finding that graphite shading works very well also.

Patterns used:
1- Betweed-Zentangle
  + orbs embellishment.

Size: 3.5 x 3.5 inches.


Thanks to all the fabulous folks that have been leaving comments on my Challenges. They are very much appreciated.

  13. I love what the orbs add to Betweed, David. I was hesitating about orbs too, asking myself if it was still a monotangle if I used it. The tangle Tipple = orbs I think. Whatever, your tile is gorgeous!
