At first glance this may seem like an odd choice for the Mandala of the Day. However upon closer inspection you’ll notice why I chose it.
Jane Perkins, an artist in found things (her words), re-created Vermeer’s most beautiful painting, Girl with a Pearl Earring, into this stunning piece of art using mostly round buttons and other found round items.

It boggles my mind. I so appreciate her artistry and vision. Who would think to use such small ordinary items to create such an extra-ordinary objet d’art? Jane, apparently. I am truly inspired.
About Jane (in her words):
I am a ‘re-maker’, taking inspiration from found objects and working them into something new. …I love art with an element of fun and the unexpected, and hope my work will make you smile!

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
