Be foolishly in love,
because love is all there is.

About Atmara:
Atmara Rebecca Cloe began her work as a digital artist in the spring of 1996 when she purchased her first computer and began her digital art business. She is primarily self taught. She took a few art classes in college, but never had success with traditional media.
“I had to wait for computer technology to be where it is now to find a medium where I could truly express my gifts.” Personal mandalas are her specialty and information about them can be found under the Personal Mandala link.
All of Atmara’s work is available for licensing. If you would like more information about how Atmara creates her mandalas see the post The Magic of Mandala Making – Living Art. Atmara lives in the Ashland, OR where she is constantly inspired by the beauty around her, the love of her friends, and the antics of her very silly cat, Sophia.
Glittery Rainbow Mandala Drawing with Glitter Gel Pens by BeCre8ive2 is today’s tutorial. You may remenber we did another of her tutorials, Leaf Mandala Doodle Drawing by BeCre8ive2, last month. Here is what she says about today’s video:
“Do-it-yourself glittery rainbow mandala drawing created on black paper with Glitter Gel Pens Supplies: black paper, glitter gel pens, drawing compass, ruler and pencil.”
According to Wikipedia: “Mehndi or “Mehendi” or henna is a paste that is created from the powdered leaf of the henna plant and is made into designs for men and women. Mehndi is derived from the Sanskrit word mendhikā. The use of mehndi and turmeric is described in the earliest Hindu Vedic ritual books. It was originally used for only women’s palms and sometimes for men, but as time progressed, it was more common for men to wear it. ”
“Mehndi in Indian tradition is typically applied during special Hindu weddings and Hindu festivals like Karva Chauth, Vat Purnima, Diwali, Bhai Dooj and Teej. In Hindu festivals, many women have Henna applied to their hands and feet and sometimes on the back of their shoulders too, as men have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest. For women, it is usually drawn on the palm, back of the hand and on feet, where the design will be clearest due to contrast with the lighter skin on these surfaces, which naturally contain less of the pigment melanin.”
