I filled a couple of pages practicing and trying auraknot. I loved seeing it done in the demo video, but somehow it just didn't seem to want to work well for me. I wasn't going to submit this week because I was frustrated, but last night as I was sitting out on the porch I gave it another try with brown cardstock and pearl gel pens, giving it one more go. Don't love it, but there you go. Unfortunately the gel pens take longer to dry (hence the smudges), but at least I was able to make auraknot look somewhat different. Of course, scanning doesn't show the subtle colors (purple, green, silver, gold). When I have more time (and patience), I'd like to do a border for a ZIA in auraknot, but it's going to take a lot more practice. I loved looking at all the other entries (which I normally don't do before entering) - there are so many fine and brilliant pieces! Sorry I didn't have time this week to comment on more than a few.

I haven't tried that yet, but it looks complicated to me. I'm new to zentangles in the first place so it looked a bit overwhelming. Maybe after I learn more.
I think these look great! :)
For a geometric design your lines still flow and are graceful! I love it!
I love the white on black. Mine never turn out this nice. I like the fluidity of your design.
Love the white on the black...very elegant looking!
Light on black is so striking. I love this tile.
