THE MANDALA PROJECT - How it came to life

If you know someone whose day would be brightened by this Mandala, please pass it along!


The Mandala Project: #16

Every now and then, what’s already there is enough—no creative gymnastics required.

I was five minutes from the house on a morning wander when I noticed this rock that looked very wood like, fascinating. Just loved the texture of it, especially on the bottom right.

Started playing with some spruce cones and needles that were on scene when I spotted the heart-shaped piece of moss lying a few inches away. Set it in place, took a step back to ponder and saw that the morning light was doing most of the heavy lifting. Done-ola.

Thanks light. And thanks to the ease of working with what’s already there.


THE MANDALA PROJECT

I’m posting one new Mandala every Monday with a few words about how it came to be, and the challenges that arose or insights that emerged in its creation.
