Day 100/100!!!

This challenge was a great motivator for me and the accountability of posting (almost) daily was just what I needed to keep me focused.

I realized I Love mandalas and creating daily is therapeutic for me.

I’ll be starting a new challenge after Christmas and it will be 30 days of junk journaling.

I Love the IDEA of junk journaling and have more ephemera and tools than any person needs to create them. I’ve been collecting for years but for some reason haven’t been able to complete one.

This 30 day challenge is how I’ll finally decide whether it’s for me or not.

If it’s not I can start getting rid of my collections

The next big decision is what color/colors to use.

A few years ago I was drawing mandalas a lot and was enjoying it.

Then I stopped.

I don’t know why but that’s my M.O.

As I get better at something I get bored with it and move onto something else. Only to return to it later and have to go through the learning curve again.

I wonder if this is a common trait with creatives?

I like the way this is coming along!

And I’m a little nervous to add color to it.

I have a habit of wanting to use all the colors and it doesn’t always turn out the way I’d like.

But I’ll add a few more details then take a leap of faith and splash some color.

Fingers crossed!

Mandala on book page.

New micron pens.

I was pulling pictures from a discarded book I got from work and this one called for a mandala!

A good excuse for a relaxing Friday evening using my new Micron pens.

They draw so smoothly and needed no pressure at all. 😊
