So I knew this one was coming and yesterday I spent a lot of time playing with auraknot just to try and get the hang of it. It is a bit elusive for me. I have watched the tutorial a bazillion times and I still find that what looks so easy for Maria and Rick and for me it just doesn't come out as beautiful even when I try to follow along. Then again, when did I ever get my zentangle to look like theirs....and so I guess I am okay with that. I keep trying to tell myself this is not about becoming someone I so admire....it is about discovering myself in zentangle. That is why I love this art form so much. This morning I made the three tiles you will see in the first photo. I will keep adding and leave the ones I did yesterday on the bottom. Staying true to the challenge I wanted today's to be after the challenge was issued. Head over and play with auraknot, it is really fun. I am excited to see what you share!

Imagine that! It was fun to see people had already posted. It is just my Monday morning routine.....get up and tangle until time to get to work.

These are great. The blue is my favorite, of course because that's my favorite color.

These are all so elegant and suitable for framing - in fact make it a fancy gold frame.

You have such a unique style. Why would you ever want your zentangles to look like someone else's? My guess is that many are trying to emulate YOUR style! Fabulous!

Your use of line and color: utterly exquisite!!! It is always a treat to see your challenge results...you meet every challenge with grace and I agree wholeheartedly with Lisa Richards, who wrote, "You have such a unique style. Why would you ever want your zentangles to look like someone else's? My guess is that many are trying to emulate YOUR style! Fabulous!" (Yes, I copied and pasted all of that, because you should read it again and again, and internalize those words!)

Hi Leeann. Thanks for stopping in at my blog to leave a comment. I posted so late last night that I am just starting to visit all the sites today. I love all your variations. I found I had to watch the video about 6 times also! My favorites of yours this week are the orange one with Purk, the one with the center top "star" and two others dripping down toward the bottom, and the one with the little tiny stars. have a good week, Gloria

Wow! You really went to town on this challenge. Every one of your zia's is beautiful, and I don't think I could pick a favorite. I am amazed at how you can take the same tangle and make it look so different in each of the pieces. As usual, your use of color is about the best I've ever seen.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, clerk, and appreciator of art. Sometimes I try to produce some art myself. Mainly I love the art of others. Doodling has been a big part of my life. Notes were never left unadorned. Now that I have found zentangle....doodling has become more exciting and fun! I hope you enjoy.
