Since so many people have asked if I was going to colour in my mandalas, I thought I would make some photocopies of my mandalas and see what they would look like coloured in.
These two mandalas are among my favourites so far for the month. 
They were coloured with prismacolor pencils. They do look good – if I do say so myself.
While I was searching the web looking for mandala inspiration I came across Stephanie’s blog – Spiritual Evolution of the Bean - she is an Artist, Writer, Musician and All round Creative. Check out her blog to see her mandalas.

I’m still trying to create a mandala a day – this week I only missed one night - the band that Ken is in was playing on Friday night and it was after one in the morning when we got home, so I drew two on Saturday to make up for it.
This mandala was inspired by Kara – Mother Henna’s blog post for The Next Chapter book group – Wreck This Journal – I’ve started wrecking my journal – I have to take some photos – I’ll keep that for another post.
These two mandalas were inspired by henna designs from the book Rangoli that you can download from The Henna Page

These are the remaining mandalas that I have created this week. My favourite is the last one, that I created last night – the flower. Kathryn asked if I was going to do any of these mandalas in colour – the answer: I’m not sure. I’m enjoying creating them in pen. Each one is created with a copic multiliner sp pen. I might make copies of the ones I like and try adding colour or maybe even add them to my collages.
Doreen – who found me via the Mandala Oasis Yahoo Group is following along the Mandala-a-Day too you can see her mandalas here. If you decide to join us let me know and I’ll post a link to your blog.

Last year I started a journal and created a mandala each day for about 6 weeks. I enjoyed the process so much that I thought I would do it again. I misplaced my compass recently and I purchased a new one.
Starting on the 1st of June I created a new journal with my Zutter Bind it All and each night I have created a mandala, usually before bed. The journal measures 4″ square.

I have been working away steadily on my large zentangle mandala. Doing little bits here and there. Today it is 30 degrees (although it feels warmer!) and they are forecasting 35 degrees tomorrow. Sounds like it will be a great weekend to stay indoors in the airconditioning and create art.

Ken really liked the zentangle style mandalas, and suggested that I create a large one that we could frame and hang on the wall. Actually he suggested that I create a number of them – but I’ll just start with one!
This is a work in progress – I started it last night – and it is going to take sometime to finish. It is 9.5″ or 24 cm in diameter and drawn using micron pigma pen and sharpies. I do find it really relaxing and absorbing. I sat drawing this while everyone was watching tv.
If you are intrigued by the zentangles have a look at their website. Search zentangle on flickr or google images. There is also a great You tube video How to draw a zendala by Miliande. Don’t forget to call back here to see the progress on this mandala.

At the end of November I decided to start creating art on a daily basis. Just one piece of art, if nothing else that day. I had some Moleskine cahiers and I decided to create a mandala each day. Usually I create them in bed before going to sleep – I find the practice really relaxing. Each mandala is about 3.5″ or 9 cm in diameter, the outer circle is drawn with a compass and pencil and they are rendered in coloured pencil or black pen.
