Laura's challenges are always challenging :) and this week’s challenge is no less. “Use the Non Dominatrix” i.e. the non-dominant hand to create the ZIA.
No problem. Easy Peasy.
My left hand trembled and halted and lines squiggled and wiggled as I tried to control the pen and with the struggles the realization set in how dreadful it must be for my uncle-in-law whose hands at the age of 80, trembled with genetic related dis-order and for whom even the simple task of putting the glass on the table or writing a simple note is so challenging.
But sugary coffee or salty food, there is no complaining, no stopping.
As I struggled to finish the tile, my compassion and respect for the "seniors" or "Methuselah" went up another notch.
PS: I added this one later - Inspired by LeeAnn ZIA for this week
Oh I'm not relishing doing this challenge, but your tangle and insights give me hope that good will come!
ReplyDeleteMeghna, your non-dom tangles have a comforting flow to them.
ReplyDeleteI, too, found that this challenge increased my compassion toward those who struggle using their hands and control fine motion.
Okay...after peeking at a few of these, I'm totally intimidated by giving this a try!! Yours look awesome!
ReplyDeletewow...very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love what I am seeing in the stretch for perfection and I think you did reach perfection! Isn't the shakiness part of the charm in the piece!
ReplyDeleteIn holland we say, petje af, it means very wel done!

ReplyDeleteI didn't think of seniors when I was trying it, but of course, it must be very much like trying to draw with your non-dominant hand - very perceptive! Your tiles are all great.
ReplyDeleteYes I was thinking of my senior class at a nursing home last weeek too. You have a very classy squiggle!
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy gal. Nicely done and thoughtful share!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your perceptive with us to make us to appreciate the difficulty the seniors has with writing. Your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat Meghna, both the zentangles and the write up. keep it up.

Very lovely and flowing despite the squiggles. Your comments show wonderful care and empathy.
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful, both of them. And I can so relate to that compasion feeling. Lovely to do this challenge.
