The wait is over!! And thanks for you eagerness to see mandala!
As I said, I was surprised with my colors at Artfest – I guess I bought them so I should have expected the vibrance but soo pink?? I was shocked when I set my mandala up at the end of class. So when I got back to the dorm I set-up shop in our “Art Asylum” area and when to work adding stains (thanks Candi) and really darkening the mandala a bit – after it dried I still wasn’t pleased, so I gave it a layer of white thinking I’d start over… I like the way the white really made the mandala pop. I’m still planning on adding some doodle to it and maybe expanding the outer rings or added shading to the inside too.
I have a little 10×10 inch elephant board I can’t wait to get started on… I’m going to the Paper Source this weekend searching for new backgrounds to work with… yay mandalas!
Amy, really interesting stuff here… Nikki said I should pay you a visit. My hair…there’s hope. I’m currently working with the real thing, no braids, just me. I tell you, it is truly an experience, I’m enjoying all the treasures I find though. Anywho, send me a message when you get a moment. Take care.
