Tangle Background

I made a "tangle" as a background for a page in the altered quote book.  Yes, me and the Zentangle are on a first name basis now.  I still haven't done a square one - the right way - but I'm sure that will be coming soon.  I think I probably showed the right side page before but now the page on the left is done, as well.  I also used some washi tape on this one, something new for me. 
I finished this page last night and had a whole new project planed for tonight but got unexpected and very welcome company tonight so that will be for another day.  I had a lovely evening and feel very proud of myself for setting the self-imposed to-do list aside and embracing the social time.  Seeking the balance!
UPDATE...  The blog-land consensus seems to be that the wreath in this post is genuine Victorian hair art.  I would love to know the story behind and how it came to be at a thrift store but I am honored to be it's new care-taker and will treasure it.

Love, love, love this!
....and usually the best times are the unplanned ones--they can be a welcome surprise...

Good grief this is good. I love the look and would never have thought it would go with a vintage print but it does and draws you in. Enjoy your company and you go flexible....Smiles..Renee

Your "tangle" background looks great. All your pages are so imaginative! Love the saying too.

Love, love, love the tangle background and it goes perfect with the quote!
Unexpected company isn't always welcome, so I'm glad for you that it was a lovely evening!
I'm also thrilled for you that the hair art landed in your care! :)

I looked into those tangles but am trying to resist them - I just really need another project right now. Your art project is wonderful! And your flowers are beautiful - I have hydrangeas too!
