Photo tutorial 1

Today's Workshop Wednesday features a photo tutorial for an intricate mandala style design. 

This design features a bold flower as the central piece, alongside an intricate filler.  With the contrast of thick and thin lines, this design comes together nicely with an Indo-Arabic theme.  Dots finish off the design and make the mandala design coherent and balanced.

Enjoy!

 Start with a flower center.
 Add bold flower petals seen recently in Gulf style designs.

 Draw a line around the flower that is equidistant from the inside flower.
 Fill in the space with a flower filler.
 Continue filling all the way around.
