New Mandalas in iOrnament
I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on the beta version of the upcoming update of iOrnament Pro (thank you Jürgen Richter-Gebert!). There are lots of new brushes to create metallic textures, dots, glitter, and more. If you are interested in learning to draw mandalas in iOrnament and Procreate, check out this class: Mandalas in iOrnament and Procreate.
Here are my latest mandalas.
This one is an example of the animated glitter feature. (If you’re reading this in an email, you may have to click through to the blog post to see the video below.)

Celtic Knots catch-up
I’m continuing the A Knotted Adventure class with Nancy Dawes, where we are drawing 50 Celtic knots in 50 days. I went back to finish week 6, and a few more that I had missed in week 1.
The drawings are all done in Procreate, still experimenting with a variety of textures. You can click the image to see it in a bigger size.
Celtic Knots part 5
I’m continuing the A Knotted Adventure class with Nancy Dawes, where we are drawing 50 Celtic knots in 50 days. You may have noticed that I skipped ahead by a week; I was anxious to play with circular knots, and I’ll return to finish the regular knots.
Here are my drawings for weeks 7, all done in Procreate, still experimenting with a variety of textures. You can click the image to see it in a bigger size.

Celtic Knots
I’m currently taking on online class called A Knotted Adventure with Nancy Dawes, where we are drawing 50 Celtic knots in 50 days. Although Nancy is teaching with traditional materials, I am drawing in Procreate on iPad.
Here are my drawings for the first couple of weeks. I tried to use a variety of textures and embellishments. You can click the image to see it in a bigger size.
Fabric Collage in Procreate
I’m still playing with the WhipStitch Craft Kit for Procreate by Abbie Nurse (Uproot Brushes). You can see the kit here (affiliate link).
This is a gnome inspired by Jennifer Nichols’ Gnomes class on Skillshare.
The next two are based on my Quirky Portraits, Molly the cat, and Oliver the owl.
In this one, I used more of Abbie’s brushes, including screws and frayed edges.
And this is a mandala fabric collage using Abbie’s felt textures, buttons, and trim.
More Faux Embroidery in Procreate
I’m still playing the WhipStitch Craft Kit for Procreate by Abbie Nurse (Uproot Brushes). So much fun! You can see the kit here (affiliate link).
I did more paintings based on some of my Quirky Portraits: Ethel, Gwendolyn, Layla, and Vera.
