Zendala dare is back!

I was so happy to see Erin/The Bright Owl's Zendala Dare return. I'm always amazed at the transformation that a pattern can go through when adding patterns. 

Mandalas, and now Zendalas, have been a source of inspiration for me since I was first introduced to them 20 years ago. I absorbed as much as I could about mandalas when I learned about them. I looked for books on mandalas and mandalas in nature. Finding a coloring book of mandalas was not an easy quest, but I found one and poured over it. 

It's amazing to now draw mandalas, creating my own magical, circular symbols.

Thanks, Erin!

    A very beautiful Zendala - I like how you softened the piece by adding a delicate tangle on the outside.
