And now for something completely different.  The mandala is in the lower right corner, drawn with chalk on the Free Speech Monument in Charlottesville.  Check it out: http://www.tjcenter.org/monument/

Now I know my ABCs. 

Trusty Copic pen on slightly less cheap paper.

Credit for this brilliant idea goes to my son, Elliot.

Ah, the smell of crayons!

Copic sketch pen on cheap paper. I can't tell if this reminds me of eyes or peacock feathers.

Stitching on suede.

Zig Calligraphy pen on cheap paper.

Embroidery on felt. The hoop is about 4"across.  This is my first stitchery mandala. I really enjoyed making it.

Copic pen on cheap white paper.

Why yes, that is toilet paper!

Pen and paper

Colored pencils #1

Supplies

Sometimes I really like how one comes out. This one made me really happy.

Beachcombing #1

Here's another one drawn with my lovely Copic pen. This mandala is actually quite small, only about 1.5 square inches.  I do so like tiny things.

Favorite Pen

I drew this mandala with a Copic Multiliner SP in nib size 0.7.  I love this pen. It has a nice weight and a smooth motion on the paper.  The ink is nice and black and the pen is refillable.

Happy Birthday to me

Greetings from the land of birthday candles and cupcakes.  Today is my birthday and I am celebrating by beginning this project.  I will be posting a mandala each day for a year.  Stay tuned....
