Mandala Monday


 This mandala is some joyful shimmering goodness for our Monday.  It is another mandala from my journal of one hundred mandalas.  The circle has long been my favourite shape so it is easy to understand how I have fallen down this rabbit hole of mandalas.  

At the beginning of the year, I started a practice of creating a mandala each morning.  These mandalas are contemplative and of course meditative and not complex like the one above.  A beautiful way to start my day.  I will be doing two per day for the rest of this week to make up for the time I am on holiday.  I would prefer to be able to do one each morning while away but I won't be able to make that work.

Maybe you should treat your holiday as a holiday from the art you do every day... It is a good opportunity to turn to something else, like photography, sketching or simply absorbing the surroundings by looking...
I am fond of circles, too but often find my hand wants to draw something sprouting from them... Is it because I'm a garderner's granddaughter?
Plan for a wonderful holiday.

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
