Fruits & Nuts Mandala

 This is from the Nature Mandalas coloring book 
by Greek artist, Melpomeni Chatzigiotou.

I don't know what every single fruit and nut is, 
so I chose colors to help make the page more pretty.










For LAUGHS!!!
I had to 'remove' the mini cricket that photo-bombed my photo of the coloring!  LOLOLOLOL!


Thanks so much for coming by!
Have a great week!

9-22-22 Mandala

 I'm enjoying coloring mandalas 
because they are relaxing for my mind.
I simply choose at least 3 colors as my palette 
and I color almost without thought. 
Right now with everything going on with my move,
this is exactly what I need.

This time I chose black, red & yellow colors.
The 'problem' with using black, is in the end, you realize some areas aren't totally full on black; and the waxy coloring pencil pieces bleed onto the yellow areas. 
Oh well....it was fun!

Thanks for your visit!
Until next time....Have a great week!

Chang'e and The Moon Rabbit - Mythic World

 My first coloring from the Mythic World coloring book by Kerby Rosanes.  
I was so impressed with the beauty of this illustration.

I chose a light aqua with accents in a cherry color.


In Chinese mythology, Chang'e is the goddess of the Moon.
The Moon Rabbit is her companion.
The Moon Rabbit's duty is to pound the elixir of immortality 
from herbs collected from Chang'e's Earth husband.
Markings on the Moon are said to resemble the outline of a rabbit.



Thanks for visiting and please take care.........
stay safe!
Love,
Lisa
