Daily Zen: 2025050401

I don’t often work on Zendala tiles. For some reason, they seem kind of intimidating to me. I do have many blank tiles in my stash that are just sitting there, being ignored.

I am also interested in trying my hand at more botanical tangles and trying things that I haven’t done before.

This tile is a result of all of this! As I was doing it, at times I thought it wasn’t going to work, and liking various parts, and thinking I would just put it away and not finish it.

I persevered, and this is the final result. I shows you how the Zentangle method works out… if you just trust it!
