Auraknot

I had an idea for a variation of Auraknot. I thought that if the bands became gradually thinner on the way out and in from the original 'star' it would look a little more dimensional. On my first tile I forgot that you need an uneven number of points to best obtain the interweaving look. I have stars with six and eight points. Oops. Oh well. You can see, a bit, the effect I'm going for.

Second tile, I remembered: uneven number of points. I went for seven. The diminishing band width shows nicely on the way out, but I realized it's hard to get the effect on the way in; there just wasn't enough space.

  1. Very interesting and beautiful Auraknots!
    I love Your zendalas. I bought a zendalabook and there are Your amaizing zendalas. Thank You very much.
    Greetings from Finland, Ray

    I've just started zendalas and zentangles, before I've painted mandalas, but this is for me. I love lines.

  2. Thank you Ray. I, too, am more of a drawer than a painter. I love the lines. But I also love color!
