Bee Mandala

 This is a bee mandala from Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou's
Nature Mandalas coloring book.
I've had my eyes on this page for a number of years
and finally settled on how to color it.

One of the things that makes coloring so enjoyable
is being able to color outside the norm.
In other words, 
I didn't color the bees in their natural color,
but rather chose colorful combinations instead.

I chose a light sage green for the background.
For added interest, 
I drew a perfect circle in a slightly darker green
to show case the center of this page.

These are all of the colors I used on this page.

Let's take some close looks at each of the corner bees
and their coordinating honeycombs.
Each of the honeycombs have dainty little flowers woven together.
I colored all 4 sets of flowers alike and added tiny white pearls to their centers.

I chose 2-tone purple.

This one is lime green with a purple-pink.

This one is lavender & blue.

Lastly, this one is 2-tone aqua.


In between the four corner bees are identical
flower arrangements that I colored the same on each.

Finally,
the center is colored more natural, using golds & browns.

I'm so happy you came to see my coloring
because it was a lot of fun for me.
I hope you have a very blessed day.

Postage Snail

 I almost named this one "Snail Mail" - LOL!

I'm enjoying coloring again so much....for now.

The colors are so beautiful together.
I used Mahogany Red for the postage stamp 
and the inside frame is a gorgeous Cobalt Turquoise.








Thanks for coming by!
Wishing you a very happy & blessed day,
Lisa

Floral Ram Skull

This is the first coloring I've done in the beautiful coloring book
Enchanted Earth, illustrated by Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou.
I LOVE her coloring books. 
This one just came out in 2023
and it's my favorite!

I chose to color this floral ram skull because it's so interesting and beautiful.






I almost forgot how very relaxing coloring can be!
This one was fun to color and I think it's jump-started me back into coloring again. 
It's been 10 months since my last coloring.
WOW!

Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek!
Have a very blessed day,
Lisa >^..^<

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!
