Secret Garden

When I finished this Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) piece it reminded me of a secret garden. Apart from the wide border the string was a couple of lines which turned out to be the branch, everything else grew from there.
Tha paper colour is called vanilla.

Size: 51cm x 65.5cm (20" x 25 1/2")

    I'm running out of superlatives!! As of today... this is my favorite. But I'm just waiting for the next one, which always surpasses the previous one! Outstanding design with the uncurling spirals spilling their "petals". Your border/frame is truly delightful.

      Good idea Ruthie, I haven't tried any thing Asian but Paul and I are going to Vietnam in July, the sights will be very inspiring!

    Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely a secret garden. Thank you for sharing it and your handy tips on how to tangle on larger, better quality paper and add just a minimum of color. sandini61@verizon.net

    I am new to Zentangle, I can only aspire to be this good some day. Secret Garden suits the Tangle to a "T".
