Auraknot. I must confess, I was intimidated by this tangle pattern. It has so many steps and looks so complicated but I am glad I bit the bullet and tried it for this challenge. I have to say, I found it MUCH easier than it looks. I must also confess, that my star shape was traced from a cookie cutter. A big part of my fear of this pattern is the beginning outline. Starting with the outline done really helped me a lot. I think that I can do it without one next time.
Now that my confessions are over, I have to say that I am looking forward to using this again. I think that Auraknot will be a lot of fun to use. Creating this tile went quickly, aside from kid interruptions that is.
After getting Auraknot finished, I added the tangles around the out side. Please ignore the tangle on the lower right. It was to be one tangle but I messed it up so horribly, that i just had to flub my way through. It doesn't look too bad but still...
Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what everyone else has done!
The auraknot is waving in a bed of beautiful tangle patterns!
ReplyDeleteI'm in total awe here. How utterly beautiful this is.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, the Auraknot looks like it hoovers above the other tangles.
ReplyDeleteI really love the wavy lines in your auraknot! It makes it so much more visually interesting! I love the tangles you surrounded it with. It sure does look frameable! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with you; this tangle looks very impressibe when you first see it. You made a beatiful tile after that!

Oh wow, I love this one, it's so steady! love 'n greetz, Ellen
ReplyDeleteGreat background! Lovely tangling!
ReplyDeleteLove this example, both the auraknot and the background.
ReplyDeleteI want to find some bigger paper, too - thanks for reminding me. Maybe Michael's will have some. I love your auraknot, even if you did cheat (LOL) - I had lots of trouble drawing my outlines, too - if I had had something to trace, I would have! Very nice job.
ReplyDeleteI love your aura knot, and the tangle that you're concerned about is fabulous, don't sweat it. You did a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing looks great. You do beautiful lines or auras, or whatever I'm supposed to call them. They are equidistant and absolutely parallel to each other. Great tangles on the outside too. Makes the central tangle stand out.
ReplyDeleteThis is great and the tangle in the right corner was 'flubbed' beautifully! You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job with the challenge! You did a great job working with auraknot! Love it! :)
ReplyDeletethis is really gorgeous!
