Flower mandala

Here's the first page I colored in my new coloring book. It's called "Zauberhafte Gartenträume" ("Magical Garden Dreams") in German; don't think there's an English version. The book has some really pretty pages, but everything is veeery intricate!

I went with a rainbow theme here. It was a lot of fun to color, but I don't love the way it turned out. :confusion-shrug:

I really like it.  Your color transitions are very nice.  I love the blues in the outside edgey stuff.

What don't you like about it, out of curiosity?

I think your color transitions are AWESOME.  I'm obsessed with mandalas that cycle through the colors of the rainbow.

I'm also wondering why you aren't happy with it. Sometimes when I finish an intricate one that takes a lot of time I am just tired of it and can no longer tell if it's nice or not. Maybe this happened to you with this one because it really is beautiful!

Thanks, guys! I'm not exactly sure what I don't like about it. I think it might have something to do with the larger flowers. I do love the small little leaves, but I think something bothers me about the larger flowers. But it may just be that I've looked at it for too long, as @Fascinated suggested. Glad you guys like it though! :)

I like it too! I like your color transitions, it's hard to do with marker.

I think it's beautiful, and I love the color arrangement.  Put it away for a few days, and you might look at it differently.

      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.
