Yes, I've gone a little crazy with them!
It started with an idea in my head, a sharpie and my kids' markers. Someone in my
ACEO group mentioned that they look like mandalas. After finding out more about
mandalas, I have to agree. And they are definitely meditative to create!
So now I have some better waterproof markers (so I can varnish the cards when I am done - the kids' markers were washable...not so good with varnish!) and I can't stop making them! Actually they are an awesome summer project - I can take them with me when we travel, I can work on them in little spurts of time since the kids are all home and they are relaxing ;-)
I've created a new section in my
Etsy shop for all my
ACEO drawings:

Now I need to get back to more painting!
