Close up from the bottom showing the detail and iridescent paint.

A close up, angled shot from one corner showing the iridescent and metallic watercolour sections catching the light. Many of the leaves, the berries, and flowers, have been painted with an iridescent overcoat that sparkles in the light.

My hand holding up a piece of cream-coloured A4 paper in front of a white wall, with an ornate leafy, flowery mandala drawn on it. The mandala is drawn in thin black ink, and painted with watercolours in earthy, autumnal colours; greens, pinks, oranges, purples, browns. There's a central red-orange gemstone made with colouring pencils.
