All Things Hamadox

All things Hamadox

 

The Diva put up the Hamadox challenge by Diana Shruer.  Original post with step out sheet here. 

 

So basically, Hamadox is a mashup of Hamadail and paradox.  Now that’s a pretty cool tangle. I wasn’t particularly pleased with the outcome when I did a typical paradox center, so I rounded it off a bit and I was much happier with the results.  You can see what I’m talking about in my video here:

Originally, I didn't notice that the sheet on Diana Shruer's page showed the rounded edges - in fact I just noticed now as I was searching for the link to share here.  That would have saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out - woopsies!

 

At the bottom of this page you'll find the 3 pieces I've done with Hamadox.  Click on the link associated with any of the photos to see the full posts and line art etc. for each piece.

Hamadox Zentangle with Distress inks

 

I just love this Hamadox thing! This time I used my trusty Distress inks to play with the colouring.   I wasn’t initially going to do any background colour, but I dropped my wet paintbrush on the paper as I was reaching for my water, and well, que sera, sera.

 

I’ve included loads of progressive pics here, so have a gander and follow me along on this little journey.  If you have any questions at all about the processes I used, don’t be shy, I’m happy to answer!

 

Oh! But before we get to the progressive pics - here's a video on my little twist to Hamadox.

Just the line art, though I did almost forget to take the pic and started some of the colour.



 Here I've done the ribbons with my usual makeshift paint palette made of up the tinfoil from my smoke pack.



 I've started to fill in the colour here, then dropped my brush and worked a bit on the background



 Everything looks better with a little pink!

Almost done! Just need to shade and highlight!





And finally the finished piece...

These are the main inks I used here:





And this is the pink I used as well:
