Drawing Flower of life Nautical Star

I drew this sketch for a rough draft of a painting. I started with flower of life. Which u can easily make by starting with a circle and on any section of the edge put the center of your compas and do another where the lines connect.
Then connect all the lined going center topto bottom with straight lines.  In eash direction. Color with marker or watercolor or pancil. The traditional black and white looks good. I prefur the contrasting colors and in this one I opted not to erase the outer circle lines and make a spirol effect by adding more thickness to one side of the circle.

The star I did with markers Fine tip or brush tip markers and highlighters.

The outer edges.I did in pencil and to cut down on the waxy build up I used a paint brush and a little alchol to remove the was by wiping it with tp or an old rag.Note if you follow this method it is a non traditional star for Nautical stars it has 6 sides rather than the five for most Nautical works. I like this better because of the straight points in all directions.

Kaleidoscope art Tutorial by Stacey Lynn

Hello World This is some of my Kalidascope photography I have done. With this photography I use an actual Kaleidoscope that I bought at a store called Wood that works. Its in New Orleans LA. It was not cheap but it has brought me great inspiration. You do not have to have a physical kaleidoscope to make money. You can use kaleidoscope apps. turquoise  coral It takes stones !!!
A lot of my loved ones have passed away before their time. I have some jewelry I take pics of. Especially turquoise. It makes such pretty kalidoscopes. But if you dont have any there are plenty of sites that have free use of their photos. It does not hurt to use those sites for your kaleidoscopes. Just google free stock photos.
