Pais

A musical note is the last of this series of strings for Joey's Challenge and one in which we have to use Pais.

Being a bit slow on the uptake, I have just discovered that Joey has asked us a different question about music each week. For some reason I had overlooked this, and having answered the first question I didn't look any further. The answer to last week's humming question would have been no, I don't hum as I draw. I suppose maybe it has something to do with the fact that I can't sing in tune so I would probably hum out of tune too.

I used to listen to a lot of music when I was younger, but now I rarely turn it on. I have always hated background music, I prefer to sit down and actually listen to it and now that I am older I find music or noise in the background prevents me hearing what others are saying. Finding a time to sit down with music just seems harder these days.

Despite rarely having music on I can't say I really listen to my breathing when I tangle. I am not sure if I get into the 'zone' or not, but I certainly find it relaxing. On more than one occasion I have fallen asleep nose down onto my tile causing my pen scribble, rather like those pictures of toddlers falling asleep face down into their food lol.

I really liked this last string. It just seemed to divide the tile up nicely. I need to practice Pais more in order to get some of those nice organic shapes as in the step out, I kept trying to draw it like Flux. As I did last week, I emphasised the string in gold.
