Diva Challenge #234- Can T

I've loved Zentangle because there have been so many breakthroughs of 'I Can!' and I've been able to conquer tangles I never thought I could. You see, I'm learning disabled in math/geometry/spatial type of things. 
Zentangle has let me succeed where I never have before or dreamed I could. And for that I thank you all. So this morning when the pattern read 'Can T', I immediately panicked. Then I saw it and really felt sad. I thought, 'how ironic that I'm set up to fail with a pattern essentially named 'Can't.'
Then I thought if anyone would understand a learning challenge, the Diva challenge was a good place to be so I tried. And tried. And tried. But I remembered her little boy going to school to kindergarten and he was so steadfast and trusting he could do it, I should keep trying 'Can T'. 
And then I slowly got it. And I decided to make it even more challenging and do it on black with a Moonlight pen. And then shading!  And it may not be perfect, but at the end I CAN!!!!
Thanks,
Sarah.

    Fantastic! I love how it glows and kudos to you for not only conquering the challenge of the pattern but doing it on black! I still don't do that;-)

    Yes, you CAN! Thanks for sharing your work and your perseverance. (I had that same reaction of fear when I saw CanT!) I love that you reminded us of Artoo and his trust. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    You sure can! The pink ink and pink highlighting is quite striking.
