The Prompted Mandala - #inktober (Days 1 - 8)

I love symbolism, always have - always will! I also love mandalas and the enormous energy which they hold - not only because of the illustrative symbolism, but also because of the sheer time and energy that goes into creating one. From the time I could hold a pen in my hand, I have doodled and although this is not done with a professional ink pen, I have always had a passion for scribbling with a ball point pen - and that is technically ink isn't it :)

I don't jump into many of the contests or challenges in the Steem space, purely because of time - but this one really appealed to me and so I thought I would get on board. Initially, I had a completely different angle and approach as I sat in bed last night and although I changed my mind... I will nonetheless share what I "started" in playing catch up with the daily prompts...

I was going to get back to that today but then the wind changed direction and so did my mind lol (Gemini problems) - and so, I headed in the mandala direction instead. Each addition to the mandala will represent - in symbolism (from my perspective) the daily prompts. Are you familiar with #inktober and the daily prompts? Well here they are - thanks @derangedvisions.

So, with that said - here is my "catch up" post which I have decided to title, The Prompted Mandala" - and it features (from the inside out) - in my own artistic intepretation, the prompts: Ring, Mindless, Bait, Freeze, Build, Husky, Enchanted and Frail. I will add to the mandala with the relevant prompts as the days go by. Perhaps not updating every single day (as that could prove boring) and I would most likely be smacked with downvotes for such minor additions. lol

Anyhooo.... here goes :)

Considering that we are only on day 8, this could prove to be a pretty cool (and large lol) mandala once completed! Am REALLY looking forward to it!

❤❤❤

Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
