Embracing the Yuck - A Diva's Weekly Challenge

This week's guest blogger at Chez Diva challenged us to embrace the yuck and draw our piece entirely with our non-dominant hand. For me that is my left hand. I am one of those people who can manage to do simple things with my left hand, but never, ever drawing! I found myself going back to basics. Slowing down the pace, using a simple string, rotating the tile, nibbling on  chocolate....

Tangles Used: Festune, Kathy's Dilemma, Fescu, Msst
I enjoyed the process and can imagine doing this to break through an "artist's block."

    Oh yeah... chocolate helps. Wine is even better. Great tile, Dorita.

    Brilliant to use MSST! The tangle looks so much more free form and awesome with a non-dominant hand! And three cheers for your chocolate adaptation to make it go easier! I thought it was a good idea to use a slant board, but that's nothing compared to chocolate!!!!!
