Hive account@deemarshall donated 2.0 STEEM last week, Thank you!

This week the inspiration comes from geometric shapes and stained glass windows. Both of these hold a lot of symbolism for many things. With geometry each shape can represent different things depending on size and direction. And with stained glass the colours used can represent a lot, from emotions to things regarding religion or belief.

This design is one of my most complex, I apologize if it's too much. Next weeks one will be made simpler to give you all a break from these very intricate stencils!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
