Beyond.

Now that she had decided, it was time to pilot beyond the local stars. She could see that something was there. Something mysterious. Something that was waiting to be explored.

This Zentangle started out as a challenge from another artist who said “You haven’t don’t very many tiles with Auraknot.” Then she challenged me to do one so she could see my variations and how I shaded them.

When I had all the stars drawn, I felt something was needed in the background, so I added the Membranart. But it still looked too flat until I made them translucent, with part of the “holes” showing through the stars. I love the way this ended up, so I will definitely use this technique again!
