Fantasy Flowers

Sometimes, when I am Zen'ning, I worry that artistry is such a "fleeting" thing.  Perhaps I will no longer be able to feel the pleasure of this form of art and the "inspiration" I usually feel may be gone.  This piece started with the Cruffle tangle pattern and I became somewhat bored with my lackluster attempt.  I went to bed.  When I awoke I had images of flowers enveloping the Cruffle grapes.....but still I was not overly impressed.  Instead of simply abandoning the attempt, I decided to go "outside" the image and add some shading to the lighter areas.   As it progressed I found I liked it more and more and recited the Zentangle mantra - "one line at a time".  All is well!
