Flower Fairy in the Thistles

If you look closely you can see a figure of light between the thistle heads.  I have chosen to call this 'flower fairy between the thistle heads', a bit whimsical on my part, but I fell in love with the fairy flower books of Cicely Mary Barker.  This year I have been refining my real 'fariy gardens'.  The thistle above is a white thistle from the mountains, with tinges of pink.

Here's my original zentangle filled with color from the 'paint bucket' in Photoshop.

I left some of the paper white in this zentangle, not much, but some.  To me it looks like a colorful pen being put to the paper drawing the thick light blue line.  I will post the Tangle I took it from next time.

Welcome to July - I will continue with a few more zen tangles made into Mandala.  I like the bright colors available in Photoshop!   Someone suggested that the large squares on a calender are just right for practicing zen tangle patterns.  So I filled a page yesterday while listening to a book on tape.
