Fast Friday Challenge 2--Notan

 The thing that I LOVE about challenges is that they take you places you wouldn't have gone on your own.  This month's challenge is an example of that.  Notan is a Japanese concept that uses the contrast of black and white to demonstrate positive and negative spaces.
I had heavy weight  12 x 12" black paper and drew a freehand design in a light colored pencil.  I then carefully cut along the lines and reassembled the pieces into their original positions on a piece of white posterboard.

I then flipped each cut piece onto the white poster board and--voila--a work of art!  I am told that this can be as addictive as making zentangles but I'm going to try to restrain myself.  I am going to use this design to make a wall quilt but am not sure if I will use black and white or two other highly contrasting colors.  Stay tuned.
