I finally got the nerve to post a picture and it's taken  me for ever to figure out  how.. It's from a book called Art Therapy Mandalas and More. I used gel pens which I love the look of except some of them don't flow well while others let the ink out in globs. Since I'm new to this I don't know if all gel pens are like this or if I need a better quality one.

I love it!  The color combos are very nice.

Re: gel pens.  Honestly they are sort of hit or miss in my experience.  I've bought some really cheap ones that I didn't have a lot of hope for and they've turned out to be really good and some of the more expensive ones have ended up being crappy.

You can't go wrong with Sakura and Sargent Art brands, IMO.  You are a bit limited in colors with those though.  I bought a set at A.C.Moore that I believe is the same set you can get at Costco for under $20 and they are nice and have held up a long time.

Those colors are WOW!  They look like they might glow in the dark; I love that piece!

Thanks for the positive feedback. Some of the colours are metallic but it doesn't show up well in the photo. I've also been working on a piece with coloured pencils but I find it's really hard on my finger joints as I have to press harder to get the deep colours that I like. I may just look for a wider variety of gel pens as they're much easier on my hands. Now if I can just figure out how to stay within the lines!!!

    • $5550.00 seems like a lot, especially with all the money they have asked for the last few years.   I cannot understand why people keep enabling them by sending them money.  They keep asking for more and more.  Their sense of entitlement is astonishing.

      Going by apparent comfort levels with each other, I would have guessed 2 brides and a male attendant 😂 

      (Not implying same-sex attraction in the slightest, but that in typical fundie tradition, the couple has clearly followed the “don’t think about sex or be alone with anyone of the opposite sex that you could do it with” to such a degree that they look awkward together, no matter how much they might actually be attracted to their new spouse)

      The astonishing thing is, is that offering to bake cookies is the most active thing Artemis has done to raise money since I started following them!! 
      Baking cookies once a week or even once a month and selling them locally would have been an actual income and might have been enough to cover for some of the stupidly low costs that managed to surprise them EVERY fucking month. :pull-hair:

      For someone who despises dancing, Gary seems to do a lot of quasi-dancing during his sermons. That picture with his arms outstretched bears a strong resemblance to Tevye in a community theater production of Fiddler on the Roof. I wouldn't be surprised if he burst into a rousing chorus of "Tradition!"

      Looks like Gary enjoyed the experience, and Donald felt the need to shout about it:
