December mandala

Suddenly I realized that I needed to finish this year of mandalas  that was done with specific parameters. I pulled out several pens, but started rummaging through my draws that are stocked with lots of delightful papers. One idea after the next tumbled out of my hands and this is the resulting piece.


The colorful but light sections are done with with a plastic that is embossed. When the light hits the piece, the colors vary. I love that. The yellow is a textured paper and the green is paper that has been painted. This mandala brings a smile to my face. Seems like a perfect winter display!

Oct and Nov mandalas

Mandalas for October and November using the same general format.



Oh oops, the sizes are different, but you get the idea! October was only ballpoint pen and November was watercolor as the background and ink pens for the black.
