patience pays

I read the guidelines for the Diva Challenge on Monday.  And liked the thought of really working to get a good Duotangle going.  I wanted to go beyond them just sitting next to each other.  But I struggle with Pokeroot at the best of times. 


Sometimes I like to go straight to the page with a challenge, work it through one stroke at a time - let the ink play on the page and see what happens.  At other times I carry the ideas in my head and shift them around in there.  Different approaches produce different results.  And I think this one paid off. 

After three days I started to see the idea, and when I drew it out on the tile it looked even better than I imagined.  The hot pink paper, the white pencil highlights, the layout, and the Drupe leaves surrounding the Pokeroot.  Good enough to eat!
