Zentangle Challenge #31 - Fairyland




Combining fairies and Zentangles in the challenge this week was beyond my wildest dreams of happiness! The first one reminds me of different places I have seen that I knew were secret homes for fairies. The second one I did looks more like a real scene, but it incorporates tangles I have found here and there, except for the cattails which just insisted on springing up!

I am on vacation at the beach right now, and can only get to full internet access by going down the street a few blocks to a friendly neighboring hotel patio and borrowing their internet signal. I have been visiting some of the fairy Zentangle entries by iPhone and must declare that this is one of my most amazing Zentangle weeks ever! I am excited to see how many different interpretations of fairy environments are springing up -- just delightful! Fairies all over the world are very grateful and delighted, too. I even saw Zentangle fairies! -- isn't life a miracle? Thank you, to our Diva, Laura, for letting me be the guest Diva!

    Thanks for the great prompt for this week.

    I think that we all are having a fun time making the homes for the fairies come alive.

    The cat tails are a beautiful addition to your garden. And I love the clouds, too.

    These are both wonderful but I have a special affinity for cat tails so the bottom one is especially inspirational!
