Many years ago as a wee lass, I was taught by a bunch of hippies–the original variety–how to use mandalas for meditation and reflection. It’s been interesting to see the way mandalas have reappeared in my life through the years in different ways. For example, Laurel has been developing her skills as a Zentangle® artist, including the merging of Zentangles® and mandalas to create “zendalas.” This is a button (using her “Queste” zendala) that I purchased from Laurel’s Zazzle store, Ten Thousand Tangles. Check it out for some of her other zendalas and all the products that feature them.
I love how each drawing is unique, and that these are actually drawn and not perfectly created with software. There are valuable things to be discovered in the tiny variations as well as in the patterns themselves.
Becky, you just made my day! I was so very surprised and tickled to see this in my feed – thank you so much for your support! Truly appreciated. 🙂
You’re welcome. You know how I love buttons, so I’m sure I’ll order more. Thank YOU.
I have a mouse pad coming for myself, and I can’t wait to see how it turned out!
I think you’ll love it. My button looks great.
Oh, I’m so glad! From what I gather Zazzle is pretty amazing when it comes to quality. Fun stuff!
I will have to look up what a mandala actually is…
I provided a handy link on my first use of the word above!
As if I didn’t have enough trouble with the Origami Butterfly Book.
You’re not ready to take on tangling?
I look at her tangles on pinterest all the time — they are amazing.
Ditto on her Instagram photos. We know such creative people!
