Mandala/Zendala with Versa & Color

One of my tangling friends, Joni Feddersen/CZT  from South Carolina has done some beautiful & colorful mandala's that you can see on her blog at Pattern Play With Pens, under the tab,  Mandala Gallery.   She also has a tab, Mandala Templates, where she shares her templates with all of us.  I was in the process of trying out one of Joni's templates, when Laura Harms (our CZT diva from Canada, who posts the weekly zentangle challenge)  posted a mid-week unofficial challenge, to try out her new tangle pattern, Versa. Well, what perfect timing to try out a new pattern in my mandala/zendala!  I love Versa!  It has a lot of different variations and I look forward to playing with it more.  Now as for color... I have not done a lot with color (it shows) and I need to practice that a lot more!   Thanks for the templates, Joni and for the new tangle & mid-week challenge, Laura!

  1. Beautiful and the Versa looks great in it. The dark black areas help make the whole thing 'pop'. I am a huge fan of kaleidoscopic designs.

  2. Wow great job all the way around. Know what you mean about color as I don't venture there often but this is really well done. Also I like what you did with paradox breaking up the points - is that pencil shading or gray pen?
