I love this new official zentangle - Auraknot. The major problem is: it is addicting! I find myself wanting to try new tangleations and playing with it connecting to other tangles. What fun! I found out about the tangle over the weekend and after viewing the video how-to, grabbed my calendar to practice. I marked off Monday on the calendar so I would still have room to do the Diva's Monday challenge. So I just drew lots of shapes and tried auraknot on a variety of spaces - no thought or planning. It is fortunately very forgiving as I have lots of mistakes, but hey, it was my first go at it. What a surprise when on Monday the challenge was - you guessed it - use auraknot! I played in the calendar some more and then did a few tiles to "count" as official. But rest assured, this tangle is going to be one of my go-to favorites!
This was the first tile I did to share. I really wanted it just to take center stage.

I looked through my notebook and found the tangle "exinside" by Sandra Strait. I thought it might work with auraknot. Add a little allium and here you have it. I called it "Lost" because as you might guess, I kept getting lost with my lines! Fun, but definitely an exercise in concentration.
Last, here is my calendar page for the fourth of July. That was a lot of fun to play with! Have a great week and thank you for stopping by and any comments you might leave.
haha! you've been busy! first of all - is that the zentangle - a - day calendar you're using? i just got one and am trying to get used to - form a routine of - using it. i love your second photo - looks like a butterfly to me - so pretty! all of them are nice - and fun - and i like your red, white, and blue tribute! it's been a busy week :)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the calendar. I don't always get to it daily. Before I got out for school, I was very far behind, but now I am at least caught up - until school restarts! I try to record the challenge in it, and something to at least represent the dares. Other than that, it is a place to "play" and write quotes I come across. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteYou had a ball. I love it!
ReplyDeleteReally nice - I love this tangle, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing post! I really love your calendar photos. Both are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTanglations of fantastic content! I love how you have made auraknot your own!
ReplyDeleteWow! I think my arm would have fallen off if I had drawn all those little circles on your calendar page! Fun work:)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. Love what you did with auraknot; and I also really like your calendar. I guess I don't understand what that is, but putting something in a journal kind of thing daily sounds like a great thing to do.
