Amanda asked me, the other day about Indy-Rella. I told her I hadn’t used it very much because I always end up drawing it so tiny. She did it on a white tile, using black ink, making the elements rather large, which inspired me to try this. I started with the white pen. But I still didn’t get mine as larger as hers. So I thought it might be fun to add different color inks that would make it look like they were fading out on the tile.
I used the silver Slicci pen next, and then a few were done with what (I thought) was going to be a darker silver ink, from a Kaiser silver metallic pen. I stopped using that one because it took an hour to dry. That makes it not a good choice for tangling! Finally, I used the Kaiser black glitter.
Highlighting and shading were a bit tricky, because I couldn’t “rub” over the silver inks because I didn’t want them to smear. So I ended up using color pencil and kind of working between the lines for the most part.
I did get my tangle elements a bit larger, and I like the final results!
