At first, I wasn’t even going to post this for my latest Art Every Day Month piece; it didn’t exactly turn out the way I wanted, mostly because I chose the absolute wrong colour as the background. (I must admit, I did really love the swirls before I coloured in the background!).
But then I thought to myself:
Did I enjoy making this?
Absolutely! I started it on Tuesday, and in my spare moments, would pick a colour and add more blobs or shapes. I really love “painting” with these new gel pens of mine.
And isn’t that the point of AEDM? To have fun being creative?
At this point, my inner me was starting to sound just a tad sappy, but that’s okay. She has a good point. Making this mandala made the deadlines fade. I had fun. It was soothing. Meditative.
And anyway, I’m so through with the self-judgment thing. This post is proof. 
I like yr organic blob. Very pretty colors and it looks like a flower about to bloom.
I’m so glad you posted it! I *love* the colors! LOL And, ooh! Gel pens! I’ll put that on my list of things to try this month.
i’m loving the colors too! and i’m super impressed with the way you threw that self-judging voice out the window and recognized the joy in the process. that’s awesome!!
I love it Belle. I think you have a rich imagination wanting to be unleashed and every time you allow it out to play …beautiful things happen
Thanks, everyone! It was very good for me to post this one up. I think I’ve rassled that old self-judgment thing to the ground now (future posts might be even scarier!)
Actually, I’m really liking the new mandala I’m working on …!
