Something About Auraknot

For anyone new to Zentangle and haven't had a chance to play with auraknot pop over to July 2012 Zentangle newsletter and let your pen explore this super-duper tangle.
You can add as many points as you like, keep them sharp or round them off. It takes a fair bit of concentration and there is focus involved but you don't really notice the missed bits anyway!! There are 2 sections in this ZIA where my mind wandered. The 1st auraknot was supposed to have the star in the centre but it turned out interesting and as I often say "It doesn't matter anyway." I filled in the wrong strip with bunzo in the auraknot at the bottom of the page because I was chatting on the phone and not concentrating.  You may or may not notice these little quirks to much and I thought the over all effect was turning out quite nicely so I kept going.
This piece began with the auraknots first, next the border and then filled in the background.

  1. I was thinking that they would make wonderful snowflakes, but flowers are more warming which I am needing at this time.

  2. A stunning piece of artwork, Shelly. I love the subtle backgrounds which make the flowers really stand out, the colour palette and how the design extends beyond the edge. It's gorgeous!
