I made this mandala with Zentangles (Zendala) perhaps a month ago.
I wanted to use only the patterns which were introduced to folks at a wonderful retreat for creative souls. I finally took the time to give it color. I have been wanting to create my own color wheel for some time, so this looked like the perfect project. I used a variety of color pencils, but really like my set of woodless colour pencils by Koh-i-noor. I used a color blender on the outer ring of color and a white pencil on the smaller color wheel. Still debating if I will add color to the inside white area.
Here is the computer inversion of the wheel:
Another project that I completed with the idea of color wheel was my entry for the Graceful Envelope Contest in 2008. I love mailing in an envelope when the creative juices are flowing with the theme - which has not happened since 2008. Just thought the connection was worth sharing:
