I found these photos on my EHD...from 2013.
I made this mandala in Illustrator when I saw an opportunity to create a photoshop template.
I processed the photos in camera raw but they were dark taken in bad light. so I got the brownisch look but I remembered that there was a heritage challenge and I loved the vintage look of them.
The journaling I made with path that I made from a selection. it was too sharp for the text,I editted it with the white selection tool.
I also played with a standaard photoshop brush in the "mandala modus"
I also used my own patterns made in Illustrator and Photoshop
