mandalas in my world
This is a small sample of the hundreds of ways mandalas manifest in my studio.
why not start your day on a positive note?
mandala nourishment cards
I have taken some of the hundreds of mandalas I have drawn and painted, and created an all new positive notes nourishment deck.
There are 36 different cards, each with a phrase to nourish you every day.
Each morning I choose 3 cards to guide and ground my day. It’s amazing how a phrase and image can create such calm.
As a gift to yourself or a friend, this little deck will be a wonderful companion, no matter where the journey leads you.
Your card stand will be a one-of-a-kind. Each one is hand-embellished by me … so there will be variations.
Size: 2.5″ x 4″, printed on 130 lb recycled card stock, they feel generous in your hand. Clear topcoat for durability. Full colour. All cards shown here are in the deck
Pencils, pencil holder and my 1999 Waterman fountain pen are NOT included
From the included instruction card:
Randomly choose a mandala nourishment card each day to help you set the spirit and tone of what is to follow. Take a few quiet moments, reflect on both the image and words. Let them be your companion throughout the day.
on a positive note
daily practice colouring pack ~
30 original mandala designs with a single word for inspiration ~ colour them any way your heart desires!
Each morning, I sit quietly in my studio and colour a mandala. It’s a practice I have been doing for quite awhile and the benefits I feel are pretty amazing. For me, this is Sacred Play, where I surrender to what is and deep inside things start to shift and settle, in a most replenishing way.
On the back of the colouring card you will find a space to write down the what comes up while you are colouring. The thoughts can be quite random, but I always find them very revealing and freeing!
This is a daily opportunity to be in touch with you and only you. A time to release, recharge and renew.
May this become a relaxing, playful and enduring practice in your life.
Happy colouring!!
Pack includes:
• 30 Mandalas to colour – each is 8.5″ x 5.5″ – printed on recycled stock with a lovely finish for use with pencils or markers.
• Printed on 2 sides, a mandala to colour on one side, lines for notes on the reverse!
• Instructions on how I use them every day.
Pencils are NOT included 
From coloured pencils and pens to metallic paints and markers on boards … the mandalas have continued to morph in many ways. Each one an original. And even though I have drawn and painted hundreds of them, I am sure there are hundreds more to come.
When I discovered the magic of creating each mandala freehand, instead of using a compass … that was when my whole body really started to become part of the design.
Each mandala is named or should I say, they seem to name themselves … after they are complete.
The process of drawing on paper and painting on board are actually completely opposite to one another. On paper I start with a white background, on board or furniture, I start on a black background. Funny, I love both for their own character. Of course the ones are paper are portable and the painted ones are not!
My desire is to share mandalas in as many ways as possible, with as many people as possible, because they change things. They change the energy of the people who view them, draw them or colour them. They also can change the environment they are in – creating a sense of calm.
