Brooch.

The brooch was hidden among all the fine fabrics in the second wagon of the caravan. They were concerned for robbers and pirates along the road to the castle. They worked to keep the Queen’s treasures safe all along the way.

I am always fascinated by the end result of using random strings and random tangles. When I start, I have no idea what the finished piece will turn out like. I think it’s one of the things that keeps each Zentangle different from the next. Each one is a transcendent adventure while also allowing for the Zen of simply drawing one line at a time.
