I think it's a great project and she'll love it because it comes from you. You did a great job with the trial and I think your rogue design is great. I've never been much good at drawing mandalas, but I really like this idea and I might just give it a go too for my niece (or myself). Can't wait to see yours when it's finished.
She will definitely appreciate it as she knows how much work goes into it. Thank you for the nice words. I'd love to see your design and I hope you'll find the time to do it and also post about it :)
