Having said that I couldn't resist watching the Auraknot tangle video. As I did so there was a kind of quickening of my heart & I just wanted to have a go to see if I could actually draw such a tangle. I then had an idea for a four-pointed knot with a simple border for a Twinchie but, imagine my astonishment when I found myself adding bits here & there & before I knew it I had a piece of Zentangle Inspired Artwork (or ZIA for short).

When I came to upload my photo from the camera I found a photo taken a few days ago when I got carried away making my husband's supper. Is it just my imagination or are there similarities of patterning? I find I'm beginning to 'see' patterns all over the place, the bedroom curtains & the duvet cover amongst them. This is becoming a most intriguing adventure: the thrill of spontaneously completing a project - albeit a small one - in less than one day feels like a tremendous accomplishment.Challenges Entered

Very well done for doing that aura knot in such a small space - I'd worked out the principle when I spotted it as a sort of challenge the other day but not tried it as small as that and it was interesting to see it developing in the video. I hope your husband enjoyed his 'tangled' supper - I'm surprised he dared disturb the pattern!! Well done.
How totally perfect, you have managed to give auraknot a new and marvelous personality. One I would not of seen had it not been for your sharing. Thanks for letting us see how you can personalize this tangle!
A totally gorgeous tile twinchie, isn't it great when you can complete a beautiful work of art in such a short length of time. Looking forward to seeing your notebook.
Love it! I hope your husband's dinner was bigger than your tile!
hahaha! so you are tangling int he kitchen, too :) that's great! and your drawing is wonderful - you did a really good job there!
This is so sweet! Amazing that you managed to do it so small - I'm having trouble doing it big!

Wow Paula, what a fabulous job you've made of your first efforts at 'tangling'. I would never have known you're so new to this artform. It's amazing how much pattern you've incorporated into such a small space. I agree, there is definitely a similarity between your twinchie and your Hubby's supper, lol!

Wow - if all this is in two inches I can't wait to see your larger pieces!! Great balance in your husband's dinner dish :0)
OH HOW COOL PEP YOU CREATED YOUR HUBBYS SUPPER I JUST LOVE IT HOW CLEVER XX
I am loving your zen-tangling Paula. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get here. Love your Hubby's lunch too - definite similarities!
Your miniature zentangle is really nice; how you got all that in a 2" square is amazing. I got a big kick out of your presentation of your hubby's supper. Very zen like, lol.
Ooh PEP this is fab and your hubby's supper looks fab too. Debs xx
Well I deffo see a similarity in symmetry and design in that doodle and photo Paula. I am allowed to call it doodling? ;)
I think you are perfectly suited to this form of art, you always notice things on my cards that I never notice myself as you pick up on the real finer details and matching elements as an instinct :)
Well done, this looks like it will be a fun journey!
hugs
