This week's challenge is to tangle with your non-dominant hand and, oh boy, it was not easy! It was a very humbling experience to say the least and it REALLY made me appreciate how much easier it is to work with my right hand. I started another tile immediately after creating this one just because I wanted to experience the ease of doing just that. Using my left hand was quite entertaining -- sometimes it seemed like I could make several pretty good strokes in a row then WHAMMO the hand just wouldn't do what I told it to. Filling in the black that I so enjoy was a real test of patience. It was all I could do not to grab the pen out of my left hand!
Great job, I hear ya on the impatience of filling in the black. I too kept wanting to grab the pen with my Dominant hand and make it work! But kept at it. Aren't we amazing?
ReplyDeleteFor me it was also not easy. Lucky for us everybody has the same experience!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from holland.
What a wonderful learning experience.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean about the right hand wanting to grab back control. Good job though I like it!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. We learn a lot more in this challenge than just creating the tile.
ReplyDeleteI am glad too to know that there is no mistake in Zentange. I have mention it too in my blog. Your work is brilliant and unqiue with non-domination hand, well done!
ReplyDeleteVery nice non-dom tile. Everything you said is so true...I had to concentrate sooo hard to keep my right had flat on the table.
ReplyDeleteYour composition is wonderful. I am liking shaky lines, it makes the piece uniquely fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely work! The more I read about everyones experience, the more it sinks in: it's not been easy for any of us, and yet it gives so much. The experience is brilliant. And so is your work.
ReplyDeleteI love your comment about wanting to grab the pen out of the left hand. That's exactly how I felt. Your tile looks surprisingly cheery and charming considering the circumstances it was created under!
ReplyDeleteHi, Karen! Great Zentangle tile! I love how the Pokeroot is spilling out of the bottom. I've always thought Pokeroot looks like cherries...then I thought of yours as loking like cherries spilling out of a basket. Among other things. Like a seashell (Onamato)...and a loose skein of yarn (Echoism). I thought about trying Echoism with my non-dom hand, but didn't find it in me to face that challenge! Fun, energetic tile. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think filling in the black was the most difficult part for me. This looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the challenge! Looks great! :)
