Challenge #78 AURAKNOT

This week's challenge, from Laura Harms has us trying out the new official tangle from Rick & Maria at Zentangle.  What a fun tangle this one is!  At first it's a little tricky and it definitely takes a bit of concentration, but with a little practice, you can quickly get the hang of it.  Of course, I always love when Rick & Maria do a video with a new tangle because they always give you lots of hints and variations. It also helps all of us who are visual learners. You can link to it from the challenge page, of from my blog (under links). 
I look forward to playing with this tangle more.  I hope you join in on the challenge!

Right now my Hydrangea's are beautiful, so I had to photograph my tiles with them...enjoy!

You sure have this one down perfectly! I like that you have used straight and then curvy lines!

These are both breathtaking. And your hydrangeas -- wow!

I am so impressed with your pearls wandering through your Auraknot. How did you do that????? Amazing!

Lorraine said...

Oh my goodness - these are just amazing. As are everybody's designs! I think I must be the only one who's having trouble drawing this tangle! :-(

Cathy said...

Great job! Also your flowers provide such a beautiful background.

Very nice - I just love this tangle.

Gloria said...

These are both so neat! I love the first one with the pearls woven through it, very tricky to but that whole design inside the points. The second is so cool because of the combo of the square with the very curvy flower shape.

Both are so clean and brilliant.

Both of your tiles are lovely. I like the way you wove onamato through the tangle; and on the second one nightbridge makes a wonderful background to highlight the main auraknot tangle.

Both of these tiles are gorgeous (as are the beautiful blooms!). I especially love the beads running through the first one!
