When less loved becomes more loved: Zenith and Phossil

This is a very interesting tile because it started as a "less loved” picture. I don't even have the beginning of it, I just added Zenith (Zentangle) to a loop string and didn't care much for it. It sat on my desk for quite some time, and lately with my craze over Phossil (my own tangle), I decided to give it another try.

WOW, suddenly the thing just took a life of its own, with Zentwining (Lynn Mead) and Mooka with Fancy Caps (also my own). Here's before and after shading:

And a close up picture for you inspect:

This now is one of my favorites - all of this to show, don't give up on your "less loved” pictures, sometimes it just takes a little while for them to develop.
