my zen is not tangled

I Sky+ed Mel Heaton's Zentangle show on C & C, she was so enthusiastic about them I thought I'd give it a go, so I grabbed some scrap paper and a biro and had a play.......

 

Originally I drew 3 shapes, a box at the top of the pag, bottom left a flower and then to the right a wonkier flower, I was having fun filling them in so I decided that I would join them together, when I'd finished I realised it looked like a chick!

 

How cool is that?
