Zendala Dare #115 + use tangles that start with (all or some) letters: THANKS

I wasn't too fond of this week's Zendala Challenge from Erin at www.thebrightowl.blogspot.com, because I thought there were too many spaces and awkward ones at that…. But I try to do all of the Dares, and I was frankly quite surprised and pleased with my end result with this one. Goes to reinforce that you never know where Zentangle is going to take you! I initially wanted to use tangles for all the letters in the word "THANKS" (which was part of this week's dare), but I decided to stop without using an H or an N, and I'm happy that I left the open space! I'm not sure why it looks like the paper is blue - it's not - it's off-white water-colour paper; but I kind of like it blue!

    Oh, I do love that open space. I agree that it would have been very busy if you used all the letters suggested. Lovely!

    I had the same reaction to the challenge, Sue! I like the open space and the contrast between angular and curvy tangles. Thanks for participating this week! You have given us a lovely piece to enjoy!

    So, this lovely blue paper is just coming for free :-) I like it!
    I also like what you did, especially the second 'ring' makes it special.
