4/19/20 Aura-Leah Tangle

Aura-Leah

Tangle Author: Carla Du Preez

Materials needed for this lesson: Pencil and piece of paper (I divided a sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch piece of plain white paper into fourths by folding it in half lengthwise and then folding it in half again width-wise. I drew my tangle on one-fourth of the paper.)

Video Instructions for drawing Aura-Leah

You can draw Aura-Leah in different ways. (The starting line is about 1.5 inches long.)

Ellen drew many Aura-Leahs then used a pencil to add
 shading to the middle of each one.

Ellen drew many Aura-Leahs of different sizes then darkened, or added weight, to some of the lines with her black Sakura Micron 05 pen.

Ellen started with the five small Aura-Leahs in the center, then added larger Aura-Leahs around them. She added shading in each Aura-Leah and finished the design by adding shading around the whole with her pencil.

Ellen's completed paper.

Ellen continued "playing" with the Aura-Leah tangle. In the Aura-Leah on the right she tried a variety of ways to "color them in." On the left she started filling in the background with Printemps and shading.

Terri created this zentangle tile by drawing the tangles, Aura-Leah, Printemps, and Fescue. She added shading and her signature to finish the tile.

Terri created this zentangle tile by drawing the tangle Rain and then adding a chain of Aura-Leahs. She completed the tile by adding shading and her initials.

Ellen used a black Sakura Micron PN pen to draw the bird, flowers and feathers. She drew the tangle, Ibex, inside the bird's body and Aura-Leah for the spray of feathers. Ellen added color by using gel pens.
