Adding Sparkle to your Tiles
Sparkle is considered to be a tangle enhancer. It is an enhancement that produces a highlight, created by making a break in your stroke, or leaving a white space in an otherwise black image. It is inspired by an engraving technique.
To create a sparkle, lift your pen off the paper consistently to leave a series of gaps which line up with each other.
Tangles that are best to add a sparkle to include those with lines that are drawn closely together: printemps, static.
Adding sparkles is also a good way to regain focus on a tangle you know very well.
1. Triangles – one with printemps as normal - One with printemps added sparkle
2. Zentangle tile – betweed, cadent, printemps
3. Black triangle – static with sparkle
