Hey Steemians!
Week 18 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!
Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Red
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:
(with example shades of the colour)

I myself will be donating 0.25 SBD to the prize pool each week.
@sallybeth23 donated 2.0 SBD last week, Thank you!
The Inspiration for this weeks stencil came from a suggestion on discord from @sallybeth23. She suggested a Celtic Weave style pattern as she really likes the intricacy involved in them. I also added my own inspiration of a Dream Catcher, as they too can have intricate weaving pattern. I wove the two ideas together and this weeks pattern is the result! I hope you all like it!
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
