“Change” is the theme and name that this new set of mandalas have given me as their name. Today I am presenting Mandalas from the Heart of Change Part 1. The rest of the series will be presented in the coming weeks.
Throughout 2017 I created mandalas as I always do. Periodically I would go through them and see which ones wanted to stay in a collection permanently and discard the others. I never know what I am going to create when I sit down to do one, and while they always seem to want to be published as a set, I never know what the name or theme is until they are all done. Early in September I began the final work of printing each image to see which would work well in print (what looks good on a computer screen doesn’t always translate to print) and see which images really wanted to be out in the world as a set.
There are now 22 images, whose name, Mandalas from the Heart of Change, came to me as I was finalizing them. You can see them all on my gallery page, https://nwcreations.com/galleries/mandalas/, or just view and savor a few at a time as I release them on this blog over the coming weeks.
I hope you find inspiration and joy in interacting with them.
Leaf Mandala Doodle Drawing by BeCre8ive2 is the tutorial for today. Here is what she says about the video:
“This is a leaf mandala drawing created on a piece of painted paper with black oil based sharpie paint pen, a white gel pen and acrylic paint. The painted paper was made by watering down some acrylic paint to create a wash and applying it to a regular piece of white printer paper.”
