Calling All Fairies!

I've seen a ghost, but not sure I've ever seen a fairy. I think that once in a while my cats see them as they quietly fix their attention on something moving along the ceiling. There is something comforting about knowing there are, perhaps, little "sparklies" all around us, adding to our lives in ways we can't fathom. Life is a mystery and I like it that way! When you know you don't know about something, you can allow for all kinds of possibilities. There is no "End-of-Story", so the story can contain all kinds of elements yet to be discovered. (Much like the process of Zentangle®, yes?) Fairies remind me that this is always so.
   Thanks, Carol Bailey Floyd, for adding your spritely spirit to the Diva Zentangle Challenge this week. What a light-hearted way to start the week! Fairies + Zentangle = wonderful possibilities! And that is something to celebrate! (See Carol's blog about THAT!)

    You do lovely work! I always enjoy checking in. The top one looks like a fairy's adventure land, the bottom looks like their sanctuary...

    Oh, Carol, how beautiful! These really capture the delicacy and loveliness of how I imagine a world of fairies.

    The first one reminds me of fairies leaving their sanctuary and going out into the Universe and the second one reminds me of a gorgeous fairy haven that you might admire, but pass by unless you looked closely and saw the sparklies! and you're right, there are little sparklies around us -- I think Zentangles help us be aware of them! Hooray! I love the way you write -- it is so natural, spirited, and inviting!

    Both lovely! But number one, yeah. I love the little connector lines (like Scribbler) and have been wanting to try something like that these past few days. Off to the drawing board!
