Zentangle Kangaroo

 I decided to get back to coloring some zentangle images for a change.

I started with my favorite page out of a recently bought coloring book.

This is the tiniest, itty-bittiest coloring I've ever done.

I had to use a magnifying glass to color the page

AND keep my pencils extra sharp with needle point tips!

Unbelievable!

After finishing the page, 

I realized how helpful a magnifying glass was

so I ordered a "fancy" one to use for future colorings.

One that has its own stand and extendable, rotating arm;

LED Lights that can be adjusted to desired brightness;

as well as 5 color modes.

It's incredible!

My poor wrist and thumb hurt from using the hand-held magnifying glass,

so I'm really glad to have this new one!

These are the colors I used.

This page just deserved to be colorful!

I usually rub on chalk pastels that give a solid color 

to an otherwise pure white background.

This time I decided to give stenciling a try on this page!

Afterall, my crafting began with scrapbooking, 

so why not incorporate something from that craft!

It makes a nice background for sure.

I thought some grass, sunshine and colorful clouds would do the trick!

I also added a few mulberry flower clusters for added fun & interest!

Here are photos as up close as I could get them in focus.

You can see how incredibly tiny the areas are

using the pencil tip as a comparable size.

WOW!

Thanks so much for coming by 

and have a very nice, blessed day.

Pawel Kowalski Mandala 8-13-26

 I really love the illustrations in this coloring book!

This is the 2nd mandala from this book that I've colored.

I added a beautiful purple flat-back rhinestone to the center of the flower.

The border around the flowers, leaves & swirls

is in totally different colors than the center.

The center is mainly purples, greens, blues & light orange.

Here are the Prismacolor Premiers I used on this mandala.

Finally, here are close ups around the page.

Thanks for visiting & have a blessed day,

P.S. my awesome new lighted magnifying glass sure comes in handy!

Pawel Kowalski Mandala 8-11-26

 I'm quite impressed with this new coloring book!

Pawel Kowalski is a Polish artist with very unique illustrations.

My favorite colors are purples and blues,

so these are the main colors I used.

Since my crafting began as a scrapbook artist, it's sometimes

 fun to incorporate some of those elements on a colored page.

I used dark navy blue flat back rhinestones to decorate the flower petals.

There were circles already drawn there, 

but the rhinestones just gave this page something extra special!

I really LOVE how this flower turned out!

Here's some around the page close ups.

Thanks for viewing my coloring!

Have a wonderfully delightful blessed day!
