Day 10 - As Above, so Below

Couldn't resist symmetry today, although free-hand, I can't get it mirror perfect... don't want to anyway... Am enjoying working in my comfy old colouring book style...

Day 9... Fourness... Houses of the Holy..

Four aspects, four houses, encapsulated in a meadow garden... I suspect this might be about stability, although it looks like fantasy ... A magical mandala mirror... or a message?

Day 8-the Moon's Illusion

Moon's an illusion... a glittery glamour... I'm sailing on!

Super Chicken - Monday Morning (day 7 mandala a day magics)

Monday morning, and I can't think of a better way to start the week than this - really, I had no idea Super Chicken would show up today, but I'm glad it did... a cross between a rooster, cockatoo, lyrebird, penguin, & those wings must surely be from a Thunderbird.... mandalas really are magical...

Day 6 "Tottery Towers"

Day 6... = "Tottery Towers"... a mandala a day is transformative... I didn't expect it to start working so fast... towers in the air grounded in earth...

Day 5 Mandfala - red face...

Greetings. Meet Red... who was green... and brown... and taught me no to be so pernickety, lest I ruin everything...
That is all.

Mandala Magics Day 4 - getting faster

Day 4already! Who'd have thought I'd be enjoying this so much?


Colouring in with breakfast, I'm getting up earlier, and looking forward to playing with pencils and paint... getting them down a bit faster now, which is good, because I didn't mean this one-a-day mandala thing to take much time...

Mandala Magics day 3

Fast and furious, I like this one - I did it first thing upon waking... yep, my life really IS a garden!

I've spontaneously made something completely different from what I imagined before sleep last night..

My first few scratchings made me want to start again, but I made myself keep going, and I was able to rectify my "mistake", which was a result of over-enthusiasm without consideration for consequences...

Manala Magic Day 2

Day 2 of mandala making, meet my inner mermaid... Make of her what you will... I'm a little perplexed! I wasn't expecting a Siren on the second day!

Mandala Magic

Decided to make a mandala a day, until I'm sick of it, and share them here....
A blog to me, is a strange medium... it can be anything I want it to be... so here I am, and here this is... wonder how long I'll stick at them... I enjoyed drawing this afternoon...
Mandalas are so satisfying to make... just do whatever comes naturally within a circle... I like resting my mind within in a circle so much more than in a rectangle or square....

Summer Sunshine Warms a Winter's day

 Hello again!
It's ages since I blogged, so thought I'd best pop in to let you know I'm still here, tapping with red, stiff fingers today, as I've just been outside, collecting fallen sticks for kindling...

Winter is biting, and I found this pressed sprig of Linden the other day, when I was looking for something else... I remember I pressed it because of its ancient, elegant form... and because it held the summer sunshine within its flowers...

Years later, it reminds me of warmth, and light, and blossoms that are also medicine...

Wondering if other people do this sort of thing too... You know, just put something away because it has some sort of beauty for them... some sort of glamour... or evokes a feeling that's not an everyday thing... then forget about it... until years later, they are reminded of its intrinsic magic...
