Laura provided a music video for us to listen to and interpret visually as a Zentangle tile. As I started the music and closed my eyes, the feeling of the song came over me. I gotta say, it was a very different way to start a Monday. I hadn't even had my coffee yet, and after hearing the song, I really didn't need any.
In the spirit of play, I began my tile. The string was basically a circle in the middle that I pretty much ignored once the play began.
The name of the song (Starry Eyed Surprise) immediately made me think of the tangle, Afterglo, which I often find myself doing with star shapes. And usually when I play with this particular tangle, I am very surprised at where the lines take me.
It was lots of fun to use my ears to hear what I then would intuitively feel about what I was hearing, and then using my eyes and hands and pen to record what I felt. What a stream of crazy fun! I had a lot of fun meandering through the squiglets and stars...

Well, I haven't even visited 'I am the Diva' yet and it's Monday morning here in Tasmania, Australia, and I'm lovin' your tangle to music! It was a nice way to wake up, thanks :D
