Diva Challenge #78 - Auraknot

School is done for the summer!  I'm hoping to get in touch with my tangling again now that there's time to breathe.  I'm always stunned that as school "winds down" for the summer, my schedules just get more packed and crammed.... things keep winding UP until the PD day after the chaos ends!  The fact that I had to pack up my entire classroom to move to a portable next year didn't ease the madness.... man, I have a lot of stuff.  No worries though - I have a mini-retreat in Haliburton this weekend with Chari-Lynn (my local CZT who is amazing!), with a bunch of friends from work - can't wait to spend the day tangling and playing!

Update:  Spent the day tangling at the Haliburton School of the Arts - please click here to see what we did!

This week's Diva Challenge is one that asks us to experiment a little with the new official tangle, "Auraknot".  I have spent the entire day playing with this!  It's a lot of fun, and has endless possibilities.  I think it's a tangle that stands on its own, more than one that I'll use to fill space (mainly because I haven't tried yet).  I'm still playing with the shading, but here are the two (of the many, many I tried!) that I thought I'd share. Happy Monday!  Have a great week :)

  1. Both of them are beautiful, but the 2nd is my favorite. I love how you put Betweed in the center of the flower shapes, tipple in the center, and the black rings just set it all off!
