It's a Wide Horizons Mandala Monday as I jump back into my 7x10" sketchbook after two months working on 3 x 5" index cards. This mandala morphed itself out of a mistake: as I started to softly ink the rings, the edge of my fingertip dauber caught the paper and made a big dark streak. I thought about flipping over the page, but then I decided to add streaks to some of the other rings et voila... it turned out way cooler than my intention of a smoothly blended pastel rainbow. Chalk one up for serendipity, it's a nice way to start another hot (HOT!) summer week!
Streaky rings of Distress Oxide Inks in: Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy; Lines added with Black Letter It Fineliners; White Posca Pen details.
