IXORUS - new tanglation

The good folks at Zentangle, Inc. came  up with a new tangleation for us and "the diva" challenged us to use it.  Here is my entry.

It started out feeling Egyptian, with those creepy eyes of Horus, but as it evolved, things took an unexpected turn. The further I got into it, the more it reminded me of Birdie's ocean study and it turned into a giant squid caught in a whiropool.  Since it turned out to be underwater, I had to add some sea anemone friends.  Isn't it amazing where a zentangle can take you?

    P.S. I had to do a double take on your blog name. It's very similar to mine!

    Nice effect, how the striped bands seem to rise off the page. Good shading!
