Auraknot Tangle

 Auraknot Tangle

Tangle Authors: Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas

Materials needed for this lesson: Pencil, black marker 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 Instruction for Auraknot. 

I can't show you the steps in drawing Auraknot in the one minute limit I'm given for this website, so I've attached a link to the video instructions for Auraknot drawn by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, the founders of Zentangle. The link is https://youtu.be/PTdKlc6gXmI . The video is a little long, but it's worth watching the entire thing because Maria and Rick show several examples of how to draw Auraknot.

The lines of your Auraknot do not have to be straight as you can see in this example.
