Wood Round Finished

 Hi all,
    As you can see I have now finished my very first wood round and have to say that I am so pleased with how this turned out. I say that because I am not and never have been any good with acrylic paint, so this is quite an achievement for me really. Having said that I have learnt some things as well,primarily to keep my pencil marks for the initial pattern quite light as the paint does not always cover these so well if they are dark, and to work fast if mixing two colours together because it dries so damn quick ! I do have a little spray bottle handy to combat that if needed.
  In my mind this is a bright funky mandala that does not have any specific meaning as such, and could be hanged on the wall or somewhere else via a ribbon which I will attach. The outer edge has been rimmed with orange glitter paint of which I have a fair few colours of and absolutely love. This has yet to be glossed so looks kinda of flat, and once this is done it will brighten the colours plus add protection. I am still undecided about the back yet, so perhaps an inscription of some kind might be ok ?

I have more to come and am already working on another one inspired by the sun and sunflowers, but again in a mandala style.
