Flower Mandala

I haven't been coloring very much lately.  My vision is blurry all the time again and it makes coloring frustrating and hard.   I haven't been posting much, as a result, though the two are not really mutually exclusive since I have tons of pages in waiting to be posted.  

I decided to post this one here rather than my personal blog because it's the first one I've done where I've deliberately used shading thanks to the tutorial that was posted here.  This is also one of the first times (maybe the first time, actually) where I have combined colored pencils and markers on the same page.

I'm really happy with how it turned out.

The pink/purple flowers are using prismacolor colored pencils.  The rest was various markers.

Wow!  That's a real stunner.  The colors are rich and I love the ones you chose. The hibiscus-looking flowers with the shading are amazing! Love the small red flowers with the green center also. Very pretty page!   :my_shy:   :marker:

I just checked my journal and the red and blue flowers were Bic Mark Its permanent markers.

Gorgeous!  I really love the pencils/markers combo and use it lots in my pages.  

I' m sorry your eyes are making it difficult to color,  Curious, that is so frustrating, especially when it is your relaxation help.  I hope thngs clear up for you soon.  (Pun intended bc it was acidental but I left it in). ;)

These colours are gorgeous!  You've combined the markers and pencils beautifully.  And I'm glad you posted this here because I've missed your pages on our little blog!

that is absolutely gorgeous!   I haven't tried markers, I'm still moving very slowly with pencils.

      This seems to be their bottom line. And apparently enough people are seeing that that no one's willing to waste anymore money on them! Sadly I doubt anything will make them stop and think - unless it's someone in their anti-work community who they trust (which I highly doubt they have). If someone they know personally finally opened their eyes to how ridiculous the anti-work movement is, I could maybe see one of them accepting how untenable that belief system is and making changes from there. So realistically? They'll live their lives as (attempted) master grifters.

      2 bathrooms works for us as a family of 4. But if we had more kids, I would probably want another toilet somewhere.

      I am pretty sure that that is the exact same fridge, or a very similar fridge, to the one my sibling and their spouse put in when they built their new house three years ago. It's fine except that the water that comes out isn't as cold as I prefer my water to be. 

      I don't Love or hate open plan homes. They are very convenient for someone like my mother, who can't hear you calling from another room but who can tell that you're talking from across the room and use her lipreading/face reading skills to fill in what she doesn't hear. (she has a hearing loss.) My sibling has one and it's convenient when they are cooking because they can keep an eye on the kids. But they also have a playroom that is not part of the open plan, which I think is essential so that you are not continually stepping on Legos.

      And I tend to think that people with three or more bathrooms are not cleaning their own bathrooms. Myself absolutely love having my own bathroom but then again I live alone. I think that having IBS and sharing a bathroom would be very difficult to do.

      I was born with dark hair. Fell out, came back white blonde. Have been going darker ever since. It’s ash blonde (street dog blonde….) now. Which- as the internet tells me, is no considered „old money blonde“ (🤪🙄). Maybe that’s how we see it when I have finally grown out the dark brown I had dyed it…..

      They could have moved closer to Ryann’s family last summer instead of moving to Seattle…that would have saved them their donors several thousands…but it’s not money they had to earn so they don’t care. Every decision they make is very reactive as opposed to proactive. They rarely think of the consequences.
