Mandalas and Watercolour Mosaics

One more mandala from working at the Trade fair…It never ceases to amaze me how I (and many other people) can create each mandala completely different than any I've done before!

Prompt #32 for Prompt 60 was a mosaic.  I started out using my watercolour pencil crayons for this - after sketching it in pencil first.  I wasn't happy with the intensity of the colour, so I changed to my retired Stampin'Up! watercolour crayons.  However, for the black pieces, I did use my regular prang watercolour Black so it would be intense  and pop through the other colours.

Have a great day.

Silent but busy

The Christmas season has come and gone with all of it's school preparation for concerts, card stamping and general busyness.  I haven't done a lot of arting, but I have done some, and through the next few days I can catch up - yet again with all I've been creating.

Today I worked on the above mandala for one of the Tangents and Tactic prompts - that I'm behind on.  I did it on watercolour paper with my watercolour pencils and used a small brush to bring the colour away from the lines.  It's a different sort of mandala than I'm used to doing and it was fun and very relaxing to do.

I'll share more soon.

Create something everyday,
