I was trying to think of a type of mandala I had not featured here on the blog and the idea “mandala jewelry” popped into my head. I “Googled” it and WOW there are thousands of wonderful mandala pieces created as jewelry. I thought I would take a couple of weeks and share with you some of my favorites. Today I’ll share with you some beautiful pendants I found on Esty.
Here we have Heart Chakra Mandala Necklace by LindyLonghurst

And here is Square Mandala Necklace by ShakespearesSisters

This is Tibetan Sterling Silver Mandala byAnnaart72

And finally, here is Dazzling Blue Kaleidoscope Mandala by MissingPiecesStudio
These are, of course, just the tip of a huge iceberg of mandala pendants on the web. Please feel free to list links to your favorites in the comments section.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments!

According to ted.com: “Stella Young is a comedian and journalist who happens to go about her day in a wheelchair — a fact that doesn’t, she’d like to make clear, automatically turn her into a noble inspiration to all humanity. In this very funny talk, Young breaks down society’s habit of turning disabled people into “inspiration porn.”
“Stella Young is a comedian, disability advocate and the editor of Ramp Up, an online space for news, discussion and opinion about disability in Australia.”
Enjoy this thought provoking talk.
For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”

Today I want to share with you the art of Andres Amador. Below you will find a video about him by KQED Arts. Andres uses sand, ocean and the inevitable incoming tide to create his ephemeral works.
Here is a video of a group mandala titled “Mandala- guided group Playa Painting time-lapse.”
