What do I think of when I hear "Mardi Gras"? Beads for sure. Feathers. Costumes and colors. Over-the-top-ness. I didn't know that the Mardi Gras colors were green, purple and gold, but I like that combination so... easy to work with. With color involved I saw an opportunity to try some new Sakura pens I received recently: metallics and glazes. This was a fun change! Here are my efforts for the
Diva's challenge this week.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I was quite pleased with how these turned out. I had more fun with this than I expected to, and have an purple and green mandala that I'd begun quite some time ago that I may take in the mardi gras direction!
