364 – Aztec Mandala
One of my favorite colorers of my mandala designs, Jeffrey St. Rose, turned this symbolic mandala into a delightfully colorful … More
361 – Natural Mixed Media Mandala
Cottage Grove mixed media artist, Shannon Weber, created these amazing art pieces from pieces of Mother Nature entitled “Life Guard Towers.” She used beaver sticks, knotless knitting, wax linen on found beach glass, and kelp bulbs: carved, stitched and woven.

353 – It’s All about the Dress Mandala
Ever since I first laid eyes on the phantasmagorical mixed media collages of Philomath artist Judith Sanders, I became one of her biggest fans. Wow! It first it may seem like this painting is overloaded and yet it’s so delightful to just be with it and take it all in.
351 – Black and Red Mandala
I love this piece! Created by local metalworks artist, Tamera Greiter, this piece vibrates with it’s strength, beauty and simplicity. I love how two of the mandalas are implied. In my mind’s eye I can see the rest of the circles. And then the red “mandala” pulls it all together bringing balance to a piece that would be lost with out. Even in the base, she incorporates two open “mandalas.”
350 – Box of Cardinals Mandala
In continuing my focus to showcase local (to me) paper artist on the MotD, I present Jeanne Heywood, of Sage Leaf Designs, who handcrafts these amazing paper puzzle boxes. What’s cool about this particular piece is that each of the individual pieces within this is a box in and of itself. AND…you can re-arrange the boxes three different ways…hence the puzzle part. Even the cover to this box is a work of art.
