Golden Ribbons



This was so much fun. Eni Oken has a downloadable pdf course called Crazy Gold Auraknot. I think it costs $12 but am not sure. I can't seem to get back to that screen now that I already bought it . 

She starts with the traditional Auraknot tangle pattern, but then she lets it get freeform and wonky and more fun. The ribbons travel over and under one another in a cool way. For $3 apiece I also purchased a Fine and an Extra Fine PenTouch pen she recommended. They are made by the Zentangler's friend Sakura, and are brighter than the Gellyrolls I had been using for gold, which look fine on white, but can't really hold their own on burgundy colored paper. I bought some colored paper in blue too. Working on that now, hope to show you soon! 

PS I am teaching an Intro to Zentangle class at Sierra College Community Ed on 
Saturday, July 27, from 10am to 1pm.
