Get inspired by Jean-Michel Othoniel’s The Peony Knot, whose glass beads have a unique colour and size but come together to form a chain, which forms a flower, which forms a work of art that is so lovely to look at.
1
Get sheets of paper, washable markers, brushes, and some water. Draw or trace a circle on a piece of paper. Think about what you'd like to draw in the circle: a family scene, a place you would like to visit, a person you would like to meet, or something abstract.
2
Create your drawing using washable markers. Start with the outline and add some colour inside the lines. You can also add a touch of colour to the background if you want.
3
Dip your brush into the water and then gently rub the colours to create a watercolour effect.
4
Create as many circle drawings as you want. Thread them together into a garland. Although each part of the garland is unique, together they create a strong connection. Happy crafting!
