Pink and blue zendala

This is what's been on my work space for the past few days. It started out a simple zendala that I created using my Ravensberger Mini Mandala-Designer. This tool is aimed more at kids but I found it was great fun for creating zendala strings too! After I created the string I added color using my Tombow markers with a watercolor technique, Then I tangled away. Finally I added additional shading with coordinating colored pencils and a few highlights with a white chalk pencil.

Here's the start with the base washes of color.
