While on vacation my talented Tante (Aunt) taught me how to draw circles to create Mandalas. It's so relaxing to draw and colour them and one I turned into a Zendala. It's a simple design as I haven't been practicing Zentangle in a while, but I love drawing them.
I used Inktense pencils to add some colour when I returned home. I didn't have my crafting supplies with me. That would have required 10 suitcases !
Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend,
Shirleyx

I've always wondered how these beautiful mandalas are drawn. I daresay it is on the Internet somewhere. I like this very much, the delicate colours and the pretty tranquil pattern.
Love your MANDALA Shirley.. I specially like that there is color on it.. it's so beautiful!
MORE MORE MORE!

This is gorgeous! Have a nice weekend, hugs, Valerie
Shirley, I love your mandala. There is a slightly looser style than many I see, and coupled with the inktense colour wash, you have a gorgeous end result, I really love this! Elaine x
This is wonderful design Shirley. It would make an amazing stamp. I look forward to seeing more of them
Love Chrissie xx
Ooh you clever thing! So pretty Shirley! X
What a great zendala, Shirley, great drawing with such nice details...and I love the colouring!
Have a great weekend in the gardens!
Hugs, Alie :-)
Wow this is gorgeous Shirley, when I first saw it I thought it must be a stamp. I've not really got into Zentangle (yet). Have fun in your new garden and I hope the weather stays nice for you.

OMGosh, I thought this was a stamp. You are just so darn talented. I love it.
This is beautiful and so cleverly drawn Shirley and I love the different tangles and pretty colours you have used. I'm glad your weather has been good and you have been able to garden. The weather here has been really cold and quite wet this last week so hope it warms up soon. x
Wow beautiful mandala. You have no stamp needed. This is wonderful. Greetings Janny
Wow, Shirley, you have the perfect touch!! I love the simplicity you gave the BG to show off the mandala! Lovely!
You must have the patience of a saint Shirley this make is so beautiful.

A beautiful mandala card Shirley ! I guess, drawing and coloring this, must be very relaxing ! Enjoy working in your new garden, I've been busy too in my garden, lots of work now. Greetings, Enny
Gorgeous mandala, Shirley! Hugs, Mar
You made this mandala just gorgous Shirley. Your way of zentangle makes me a bit "jealous"
coloring and drawing is sooo nice.

I'm mandala obsessed, and this one is lovely, Shirley - well done!
This is lovely & so colorful. Looks like wonderful therapy too. I've never tried one of these (only tried once to Zentangle, & it wasn't that great, but fun!) Your effort turned out stunningly. Good luck in your new gardens, enjoy the gorgeous weather. I'm liking your new photo of yourself too. You look pretty & happy! TFS & Hugs.
Love the design and colours of this one! And ten suitcases, oke, maybe it would fit, but some of mine would be soo heavy :) Enjoy the sunday and I am sure you will make the garden into a dreamy paradise...
Gorgeous card and fabulous colours...that image is also so awesome...have a great week ahead..xxx

Beautiful! Love your zendala and your coloring! Looks awesome! Thanks for your comments! Hope you had no more frost! I almost put my tomato plants outside but our "date" is June 2 nd or so I told people last weekend at the school plant sale! :) It is fun helping at the sale and makes me "think" once a year! :) It is so refreshing to see all the beautiful colors after our winter and count how lucky we were to have so minimum of damage compared to others! But a little sad that I lost all my butterfly bushes! Anyway, love your card and thanks for inspiring! Have a great weekend!
