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?

A mandala made with more found objects; this time by using rosy petals and gold curling ribbons, all put together on a place mat.

Spring & Summery Mandala

A Mandala for Spring Days and Summery Ways, Copyright Anna and Shastina, The Mandala Group, 2006


A good friend Anna, helped me with this mandala. She beautifully created Summery Ways and I was responsible for the Spring Days part. It was made in segments and then placed together.
