Faeries beware

Well, it's always good to find out what you CAN'T do. I am now able to eliminate landscape architecture for the faerie worlde from my list of alternate job possibilities. This week's zentangle challenge, courtesy of guest challenger CZT Carol Bailey Floyd, is to tangle a place that fairies might like to visit.

There are many tangles that are reminiscent of plant life, and I thought those would be good to use. Also stars. Also big things with tiny people, and to me the tangle Artoo always looks big. "Fairies" to me means light and airy, flitty and flighty. My first attempt was more heavy and dark than I really wanted.

Tangles: Artoo, Caviar, Daggerly, Drupe, Finery, Gneiss, Knightsbridge, Lilypads, Miranda, Tidings

Second go at it. I tried some new tangles: Warble and Frondous (magically turned into wheat with a bit of fairy dust by this prairie girl!). Still a bit dark, although I like the little white "path" leading in from the bottom.

Tangles: Caviar, Finery, Flux, Florez, Frondous, Hurly Burly, OoF, Warble

Third try lucky? Well, at least a little more successful. The tangle Aah! seemed rather fairy-like, and I kept the botanical influence. I also like this border; it seems somewhat like flower petals.

Maybe the faeries flitting about in my head are just a little oddball.
