Spiralation Number 9

Remember the song Love Potion Number 9 for some strange reason I thought of it while tangling this ZIA.
Just one more for my Spiralation series.

Size: 82cm x 57cm  (32" x 22")
On beautiful natural Lokta paper
Brown 05 Pigma Micron pen

    Shelly, this is lovely. I see a swirly-spiraly Number 9 among all those beautiful tangles!! And the ink colors are perfect. It's a lovely, lovely addition to your Spiralation Series. I love it!

    Absolutely gorgeous! At first it looked quilted or embroidered. How did you find drawing on the Lotka paper?

      Loved tangling on the Lokta paper Margaret, it felt soft and easy on the pens even with the bumps here and there.

    I have hanging on my wall about 10 sheets of Lokta paper afraid to touch them. You have given me inspiration to go for it. Can I ask, Do you use a string when you do large pieces?
    Love, love, love this!

    Oh, do have a go, the pens love Lokta paper and yes I draw a string, this one was a large spiral.

    Practice Makes Perfect.... and this is not only my all time favorite zentangle drawing, but absolutely PERFECT! The invitation is still open if you even pass through Salt Lake City again. Thanks again for the beautiful drawing.
