Make Me Some Munchin

 This week's challenge at I am the Diva czt is to use the tangle called Munchin, demoed by Molly Hollibough using a black tile. I usually like this type of repetitive tangles and this was no exception. However, I did not have a black tile. This time of the year, my backyard is filled with colorful natural tiles in various shapes and sizes and I could not resist using one as my tile. I used white and black gel pens, both of which glided smoothly on the leaf.

I painted this kolam to celebrate the beginning of the navarathri season. I have written more about navarthri and the art of kolam here.

Flux as in Tangle Challenge

For some reason, I kept associating leaf with Flux, this week's challenge at I am the Diva czt.  So, I decided to do the tangle on an actual leaf. This leaf is from Grandiflora Magnolia on my front yard. It is an evergreen tree with bright waxy green color and makes an excellent substrate for doodling and lettering. I used a gel pen to draw the tangles. You may also use acrylic ink.
