Mandela Memory

Mann1

 The nice thing about making these mandelas is….you don’t have to have a memory.

 All you need is a compass to draw the circles and many markers!

 I forgot how much I relax and enjoy coloring in these mandelas.  The hardest part is deciding on the design.

 I have to purposefully bring in the purples and the maroons cuz those aren’t my “go to” colors.

 Just plain fun!  I reinforced the black lines to help define the shapes better.  I can’t believe it’s been a year since I did my mandela series
….not going to wait that long next time….Haha Smile

    Thats it! You went and done it....I'am between sketches for the moment searching for my next drawing and now i have to make some mandelas.....I've never made one but yours are so beautiful. I wonder what markers you use and what paper? Maybe you've already told us... i'll have to poke around a little. This is just gorgeous!

    I wonder...... how much thought process do you put into it as far as what doodle to use...a lot of thought or just kind of whatever pops in your head??? Hugs! deb

    Thanks Uaite!
    Hi Deb, get yourself some fine point sharpies or Bic's and have fun. I don't put too much thought into the layout, I just try to mix my color patterns up. Here's a marker review I posted last year! Good Luck :D
