From almost the beginning, one of the first tangles we teach is crescent moon. In the process of learning this tangle, without even knowing it, you also learn the drawing technique we call aura. Aura, in Zentangle speak, is a line that is drawn close to a previously drawn line that mimics its path like a halo. Aura is a technique that we use in many of our tangles and tanglenhancers. Knowing this technique brings ease and confidence to your practice as you learn new tangles, tackle ways to build composition, and look for inspiration on how to enhance your art. Over the years we have learned that aura has so much to offer us, both on and off the tile. And how did we learn all these things about aura? Well, it was almost as if a little bug told us … a ladybug that is.
For years she has sat quietly in the background offering bits of helpful advice and nurturing support, here and there, almost as if you did not know she was there. Her whispers are deliberate and comforting, yet beautifully suggestive and never demanding. Amid this most celebratory year for the Zentangle Method, this near and dear friend has graciously come out from beneath her wings to meet all of you. We are over the moon excited to introduce to you our newest member of the Zentangle family, Lady Aura.
We believe you will get to know her just as quickly as we have. She sits there quietly; but her presence brings subtle reminders that will enhance your practice and approach to your art. You can feel her energy as she dances deliberately round and round, carefully responding to her previous work. She is persistent, reflective, and reactive but her marks are inventive and open-ended. She is aware of where she has been but does not attach herself to the past. Rather she uses it as a launch pad for opportunity and new experiences. Under her hard shell you will find a soft-spoken confidence. Lady Aura is aware of her inner beauty and steers clear of comparing herself to others. She sees the world through a rosy, red-colored lens and truly believes there is room for all kinds of beauty in the world. She leads by example and cares for those on a creative path. You may see her here or there or maybe just feel that she is near. And, sometimes, you may see many “of her” as she does tend to repeat herself. She will tell you there is plenty of her to go around and around.
Lady Aura is over the moon to meet all of you. She loves the Zentangle Method and this amazing community. She says she thinks she will stick around. We look forward to seeing a lot more of her in the years to come.
Thank you, Lady Aura, for joining us!

Feeling so lucky to have you in my life, After working with this real spell caster called Dr. Excellent, I couldn’t believe my eyes. super fast and reliable, thank you so much for saving my broken Marriage with your powerful love spell. I was heart broken when my husband left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours. Me and my husband are living happily together again, This man is powerful, Contact Dr. Excellent for any kind of spiritual problems or any kind of relationship problems he is capable of making things right for you. Here his contact. Call/WhatsApp him at: +2348084273514 "Or email him at: Excellentspellcaster@gmail.com

Was on road trip a few weeks, but took PP24 with me to continue Aura tangles. Just yesterday watched the “wrap-up” video. So…..I went back to tangles in PP24 booklet and added lady bugs to celebrate “Lady Aura”. Will be introducing Lady Aura to Bijou in some future tiles. I think they will make an excellent pair!

I am so happy to meet Lady Aura! She is a very wise ladybug… and I am so glad to have her with us! Ladybugs have been a part of my life since I was a child. And they continue to delight and are even more dear to me as an adult. It has been wonderful to include her in PP24 and have her creatively dance with us onward!
