This week’s mandala asks us to take a look at that which we really want to do, be, have, decide, change, etc. and yet we somehow always keep putting it off (leaving it up on the air, so to speak) for some various reason or other…usually because of some fear disguised as a convenient excuse.

Week 33: Funny Face
Funny Face reminds us to re-connect with our inner joy. It’s always there. We just have this nasty habit of covering it up with so much seriousness that we forget.

Week 12: Portal
While doing a personalized mandala, this design came to me with the intention that it be a gift for all to experience. It is designed to be used as a meditation tool in order to access our own inner guidance deep within ourselves. Many portals exist within the design so that each time you meditate on it you can focus on a different section, each time providing a different experience.
Week 11: Hidden in Plain View
On occasion I participate in EBSQ’s monthly online art shows (of which I’m a juried member). The theme for the February 2009 show was: “One Word Concept: Hidden”. The idea “hidden in plain view” came to mind. I love playing around with words. I outlined the “hidden” word and then randomly doodled large wavy lines around and through it.
Week 8: Inner Tubes
The Inner Tubes mandala is one of a series of 21 asymmetry mandalas created over a 3 week period in autumn 2007. It consists of only 3 lines overlapping each other, with a spiral in the middle. My asymmetry mandalas come about by drawing in-the-moment inspired doodles.
Week 2: Music Hall
The Music Hall Mandala came about from a doodle meditation session. When I first looked down at the paper, I saw the center piece in my mind’s eye and just started drawing what I saw. Then the rest just evolved on its own…with each line drawn seeming to inspire the next line.
