For day 5 of this month’s Mandala of the Month, Breezy, I added iridescent bronze shading to the gold sections to give them more depth. Then I added a mix of zinc white and iridescent pearl to the white sections to bring them more forward.
I ended today’s session by outlining little curvy sections around and along the sides of the design (image 5a); hopefully giving the illusion of the “breeze” catching them and sending them on their way.
Because of the iridescent nature of the pearl and the gold, it makes it a bit challenging to capture in these photos. Hopefully you can get the essence of it.
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?
