coffee filter mandala

I love using recycled materials in my art and today I thought it would be fun to show you how I used recycled coffee filters in my art journal as a layer in my mandala drawings.

Materials-

• I like to use a cheap $1 composition notebook for a lot of my art journal experiments but any type of art journal or sketchpad will work.
• Used coffee filters- rinse and dry
• Matte Mod Podge
• Micron pen size 8
• White Uniball Signo pen
• Marabu art spray
• Cheap matte acrylic paint
