Sun & Moon/Day & Night Yin Yang Mandala

Yin Yang designs always have stand-alone sides 
that are opposite each other.
However, they are supposed to be viewed as being in harmony together.
 
Internet definition: all things in the universe exist as inseperable and contradictory opposites; or pairs of equal opposites that attract and complement each other.

Bearing this in mind,
Although total opposites, I did use the same color for the leaves for both sides.







Thank you for stopping by!
Have a good one,
Lisa

Sea Dragon Mandala

WOW!
This is one detailed mandala....to the extreme!
Gives your eyes quite the workout coloring those tee-tiny things.
Keep those colored pencils extra sharp for all of the many ultra-tiny shapes!  

This is from the newest 2022 Nature Mandalas coloring book,
 with the magnificent artwork of Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou.

Although this is very colorful, I kept it mostly consistent.
A mandala is consistent...mirror images, patterns, etc.
Being mindful to color these mirror images & patterns with consistency 
makes for a really pretty mandala.

The patterns & mirror images are really obvious at the top and bottom of the page; as well as opposite sides.



Each corner is identical, so they are all colored exactly the same.

Here are more photos to show you all of the little details of this superb mandala.





Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great upcoming weekend!
Lisa

Jellyfish Mandala

 This is another mandala with magnificent flow!
Like the Beta Fish mandala I recently colored,
I chose to use the same colors in pinks & blues for the jellyfish.
This makes them female & male.

Beta Fish Mandala

 I recently purchased new mandala coloring books!
I'm very pleased with the drawings done by
Greek artist Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou. 

I absolutely LOVED the graceful feel of this beta fish mandala.


Their fins flow beautifully!



I colored the female in pink with aqua fins.


The male is blue with light green fins.

And together they swim in harmony....


Have a great day and thanks for visiting!

Snow Leopard Morph

 Another 2-page spread morph-coloring.
These are interesting because there are always strange creatures 
and things that just don't belong.
Using unusual colors makes everything even more interesting.
Coloring is what you make it!

This is page 1 

This is page 2


Now for the close ups......
Some things are colored realistically, but some are not.
Would you expect green leaves in the middle of the snow?

A purple bird, swimming Koi fish & red snow flakes

Strange little creatures & and an oddly colored bird

A snow globe, a purple snail & a purple dough boy licking a snow cone

A tigers tail, red & yellow snowflakes, a purple bunny 
& all sorts of colorful puff thingys

An odd colored peguin wearing a scarf, purple snow mounds
 & the Jack of Hearts playing card



A group of animals...some very colorful

Orange & yellow penguins

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Lisa
