I am going to be reading Judith's book, Mandala, this weekend - since we are having a lovely Spring snow storm :) and will give her technique a try on black paper. We shall see what happens :) Yes, so many ways to grow a mandala! :) Maybe I need to put down the compass and just play! Something I find hard to do :)Mystic Meanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746429719911446865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905400852427551541.post-49802951367237202952013-03-23T06:50:03.319-06:002013-03-23T06:50:03.319-06:00Lovely, Christine!

Yes, I have considered using a more free form, but for now I seem to be drawn to these geometrical ones. It resonates with something deeply within, so am going with that for now. But, you never know, my next one may be completely free form! :) Did you check out Prema's mandalas? (link above) - That's really what I want to be doing.

Although these are not normally colours I would associate with spring (pastels, yellow chicks, soft white bunnies and lambs) they really convey the heat and spirit of new growth. I have the Judith Cornell mandala book, which I found very inspiring, though I didn't get past making white images on black paper. Have you considered the idea of making non-symmetrical forms within the defining area of a circle?

Yeah, I know, Spring has not exactly sprung here in its traditional way either. We've had some warm temperatures in the 70's! - unusual for March here, but they say we will be getting our first Spring snow this weekend, with temps in the 30's again... So we still have a bit to go before buds bloom :) Hope you are out of the deep freeze soon!

I've been wanting to try mandalas in fiber some how...it's on my to create-list. ;o) It says spring on the calendar, but winter still has her frosty hand on us her--snow and bitter wind still. But there is a hopeful feeling that goes with a seasonal change all the same--even if only mentally. :o) Happy Spring Days ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.com
