Black Background and Mandalas Art

Some one posted a prompt to use bleach.  Sorry, I can't remember where.  But I found a couple of journals that had black pages.  One had heavy card and one just heavy paper.  I used a brush dipped in bleach to draw on them.  The paper did not bleach very well.  The card one hardly at all, the paper one a bit more.  But, not enough to see it well.  So, I dug out the gel pens, something I haven't played with for quite a while.  I made a page on the card for "The Year of the Rabbit" and on the paper "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  The gel pens saved the pages!


And doing a seed mandala every day this week is starting to make a difference in the mandalas shape and look.



Gel pens on the last one... I had forgotten how much fun it was to play with them!
