I have been trying to do doodles like Nici does for a couple of years now. I have never been able to do them in a way I liked. But I have enjoyed doing designs for a while now that are squares with various designs in them. Here is an example of one of them.
This gave me the idea to try the same thing with a circle. And I was pleased with the result of this sort of funky mandala design.
What I liked about Nici’s doodles was that she did some of them with twinklink H2O’s ( metallic watercolors) so I tried this type of mandala with the twinling paints. And it is as close as I’ve come to liking a doodle type image I’ve done with them. I think it’s a mandala doodle 
All of these were done in my journal which is a sketch pad. The first two were done with sharpies. The last one was done on a page coated with black gesso with twinkling H2O’s as I said.
Glad you found some inspiration. I’m happy to muse you
Zura,
Your mandalas just inspired me to make some of my own. Thanks for being a Muse!!!
Thanks, m’ friend
The colors in all of them are very rich, but the scan washes them out. I had such fun doing them!
Zura! These are gorgeous! I love all of the colors, and I’m so impressed at how sparkly the Twinkling H2O’s came out on a scan. I can never get sparkly stuff to scan right.
I love how colorful and free these are. They make me want to rekindle my love affair with mandala’s, and let loose a bit more.
