transforming soul whispers into mandalas and channeled messages of clarity, peace, and love
When I see images of nature-inspired mandalas, it takes my breath away. The little kid voice in me says “I wanna do that!”
And that was my reaction yet again when I found today’s MotD from photographer & land artist, Dietmar Voorwold, and his remarkable land art creations. My biggest challenge was figuring out which of his pieces to showcase…they all are spectacular.
Paula Brett made this delightful sequins and glitter mandala. Love the sheer playfulness of it along with all the bright colors.
75 year-old Slovenian artist, Franc Grom, creates these amazingly delicate and beautiful pieces of 3D art using just a drill and a hollowed-out egg.
For today’s MotD I decided to take a lighter approach and have some fun with it.
At today’s Easter Parade in New York City (4/5/15), ABC News put together a collection of outlandish Easter hats. They all were fun, however, I found this one (#4 of 15) to be the most delectable and colorful as well as most in line with the mandala-like shape…and in 3D form.
Just about everything in The Nautilus House, designed/created by organic architect, Javier Senosiain, is round or curved; “the floor is the logarithmic spiral, adapting itself to the land.” This 2007 mollusc mansion, near Mexico City, is so filled with mandalas and mandala-like elements, that it would be easier for me to point out where there isn’t one!
Philanthropic artist, Jeff Hanson, created this spectacular piece entitled “Sunday Morning” for CBS’s Sunday Morning show. Despite the fact that he’s legally blind, this remarkable young man paints brilliantly-colored and highly-textured paintings that “change the world one painting at a time.”
I absolutely love, love, LOVE this shadow art installation piece by Anila Quayyum Agha
entitled “Crossing Boundaries”…on so many levels. Four items make up this piece: 6.5′ wood cube laser cut with geometric patterns, black paint, large room with white walls and a light bulb.
