FMT Challenge 172 - Auraknot


Joey, over at MadeByJoey.blogspot.com, is taking a deserved summer holiday and has subs organized to keep us avid tanglers working through her break. First up is Ilse from Zentangle Zoo. She made a star string in honor of Joey's gentle arm bending method to make us draw Zentangle tiles. The string is also the first line for her chosen tangle Auraknot. Although I am a fan of Aurak-NOT, I thought the idea was great. I dug my heels into Ilse's challenge and tried not to make a complete fool of myself and a grandioso mess on the tile.

Since we are still in celebration mode (last week it was the last letter of the alphabet theme) with the US and their July 4th festivities and Canada with their Canada Day...oops, that was also last week...one of my tiles again looks like a little party is taking place - w/o the champagne.

The Molygon I picked from one of my Molygon coin collections I made during the Molygon Study by DIVA. I hadn't finished it in time to upload with the other Molygon tiles so it ended up on the Inspired by... May 2017 page.

A big 'Thank You' to Ilse for a fun challenge!

Now if my dog could do that....



Think before you adopt. Don't break a dog's heart.

      Both results are beautiful, also the one with the beads, but for me, the first one has just that little bit more!

      Hahaha, Ria. You are not alone: 2 to 1. I cave. (I sob again later, when Ria is sleeping.)

    Both are so festive and happy! Love the maple leaf tucked underneath! The second tile reminds me of a starfish underwater with seaweed wrapped around it, and in my opinion there is no happier place than on the beach!

      Thanks so much for your kind comment, Joey. I had to figure out a place where I could put that leaf so it is not swallowed by all the other tangles.

    Now we can't pick a favorite tile, we like both of Susie's children er tiles just as much as the other.... even if we do think one is cuter.
