I took photos of this one in stages as I went. I don’t always pencil them in first. But this one is actually quite large. This is my 11×14 sketchbook but the mandala itself is only about 8″… I’ll aim for 10 next time! So even after I’ve inked in a few layers, I don’t […]
This is just a random lotus doodle that I did while watching TV. I wanted to use it to point out something that’s pretty important to me. My style. I can and do occasionally complete a piece that has straight clean lines. But they feel so intense! These doodles (mandala or otherwise) that have the […]
So the last post showed Open Composition mandalas, These are Closed composition mandalas (almost lol). Closed means that the entire piece of artwork is framed within the paper. The top one is pushing the limits of the edge but the others qualify lol. I tried dammit! ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail […]
Open composition is when the elements of the artwork go beyond the edges of the page. With mandalas, I love when they come from one corner or another of the page… Or when they burst so large from the center that they go beyond the page completely.. These mandalas or doodles or drawings aren’t that great […]
In December we took mom to see Hollywood and I doodled there and back.. I finished the first one and began the second one on day one… I finished up the second doodle on day two. Those little circles were a trip on a moving train! The first day we took her to Hollywood and […]
I’ve had my Derwent Inktense pencils for a while, but I haven’t gotten to use them overly much. So I not only colored on this little mandaladoodle I’d done the other day, but I also made me a color chart to keep inside my Inktense tin so that I can see at a glance what color […]

See a sneak peek of one of my sketchbook project pages above! I have been involved with arts and crafts since I was a little girl. My mother was wise to introduce me to art and encourage it… To this day it is my therapist, my confidant, my companion, my savior.. Then I became a […]
Today, heat and all, I decided to bring us outside for math. Nothing like multiples of multiples.. After she finishes the multiplication, I thought it would be a fun treat to work on a zendala/mandala.. Of course, I had to play with one first to see if it’s truly relaxing or not! It is! Just […]
