What do you need?
- white drawing sheet
- compasses
- scissors
- crayons or oil pastels
- indian ink
- brush
What should you do?
Step 1
- Draw a circle with a diameter of 20 cm.
- Draw within about 1 cm another circle (the edge of the mandala).
- Cut out and fold into 8 pieces.
- Draw against one of the folds half of a snowman using black oil pastel/crayon.
- Fold the sheet and press firmly with your hands to get a print of the snowman on the other side of the fold.
- Trace this half with black oil pastel/crayon.
- Repeat this and draw the other three snowmen.
- Color the snowmen and background.
- Make sure the snowmen are really colored white, otherwise they will turn completely black with ink after step 2.
- Color the edge with a nice pattern.
Step 2
- Crumple the picture into a ball.
- Make flat again.
- Paint the entire drawing with indian ink. Rinse the ink immediately after it in the sink.
- Let dry. The ink will rest in the folds and create a great antique effect.
- Cut the circle and paste it on a colored background.
