Zendala dare

At the brightowl she has a weekly challenge with a template for a mandala, i drew my own from her template rather than downloading it as i wanted it in my sketchbook. The theme was pies and she asked we use tangles that started with the letters PIE. I used paiz around the outside, and paradox is the one in blue, in-a-pod is the one that looks like pea pods and then echoism is on the outside edges in Red and yellow. This type of mandala i can get done very quickly. Yesterday's is much larger and all drawn out with a compass and takes a bit longer. Different types and different results but both are fun to do. Tomorow i should have another style entirely, less symmetrical, drawn from a "seed". After that maybe i'll be moving on to something else, a rock or nature sketch or maybe even a canvas. It all goes in streaks for me.

  9. See, I know nothing about mandalas....there are different styles with names?! Wow! I just thought it was a doodle you picked out of your head and repeated. So much more to it than I realized :)
