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

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

  14. 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!
