Challenge #7 Zentangle Noir

This summer I had the opportunity to attend a class at the Augusta Quilt Show on zentangling on black.  We learned that you can use a white (or light) gel pen and you can shade with a white (or light) charcoal pencil.  And I bet you thought charcoal was only black, so did I. The difficulty is finding a permanent pen that actually shows up on black paper.  Because I took the course, I have a white gel pen and a white charcoal pencil.  My twin, on the other hand, has used a silver marker on black paper for this challenge.
Black drawing paper is readily available and you can just experiment with pens to see what works.

Here is mine zentangle noir, (white gel pen with white charcoal):

Here is Jay's (silver sharpie on black)
Next post, we'll be up to date!
I will post the challenges on Sundays.  And by the following Sunday I will post our results.
