ATC peacock mandala

After Christmas yesterday I took an easy day today. This mandala I did today, and I experimented with the material and speed. I must admit I like this loose way of working. Soon I will start a birthmandala, which will be acrylic on canvas again. I look forward to start a big one but these ATC cards are fun. They are like neat little projects. Na de kerst gisteren heb ik vandaag een rustige dag gehouden. Deze mandala heb ik net gemaakt. Een beetje geexperimenteerd met materiaal en snelheid. Ik moet toegeven dat deze losse manier van werken ook wel iets heeft. Binnenkort begin ik weer aan een geboortemandala, acryl op canvas. Ik heb er weer zin in om aan een grote te werken, maar deze ATC´s zijn leuk. Het zijn net kleine overzichtelijke projectjes.

    Marianne,

    This is really fun...I also like the looseness of it. I purchased some of these cards, but I have not used them at this point. I think I am kind of holding off for everyone to head back to their routines. :) It is the quiet, undisturbed time I need.

    What a neat mandala! I love how you continued the theme of the bird feathers around the edge. I need to learn that art of pulling the whole design together! I have made another mandala which I am saving to post for New Years!
