End of the Winter

Five Mandalas Copyright The Mandala Group 2013

A collection of one person mandalas, designed by individual members of the group. Each one depicting an overlap in the change of seasons. This shows both new life at the beginning of spring...



...and wintery ideas from the fragile end of the winter...





...Where the old meets the new in the overlap of the two.








In the end of winter or the beginning of spring, this overlap is possible...So five mandalas by five group members.

Three say it with candles mandalas, or actually the same mandala taken from different angles; so that three different views are shown.  It is another one in the Found Objects category. The objects this time are on the theme celebration.

Have a Happy Day today whether it's a special one for you or not! 

Partridges & Pears

It's time to unveil this year's mandala for Christmas, including the usual stars...
Instead of a general Christmas 'free for all', we have decided this year to have a specific theme.  So we chose to use the first line of a well known Christmas tune as inspiration and you'll almost certainly have guessed by now, it's the first line belonging to 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' tune.

"On the first day of Christmas, 
my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree"

In the centre of the mandala perches a partridge drawn by Jo Jo.  Below there are four more partridges, not however, in a pear tree ~ are they foraging for something on the ground?
