Exactly a year ago I decided to try painting mandalas. This was my first one and I had such a pleasant time getting lost in it. The original is quite tiny (and missing at the moment!) It must still be packed away.
This past weekend I planted my nasturtium seeds in their starter pots hoping for blooms like these. When/if they bloom I'll share the pictures on another Blooming Tuesday.
Have a wonderful week!
So pretty. Such lovely colors. Hope you find the original soon. Too often I tuck things away for safe keeping and do too good a job of it. Years later the safe (and very lost)object resurfaces.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the tendrils of the nasturtiums sneak out of the mandala. I find mandalas scary and frustrating. I haven't ever gotten into the meditative part of it. HBT.
ReplyDeleteOhh such wonderful mandala!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have this one in a most beautiful card! (a large one!)
Too beautiful to send or give away!
Happy Blooming Tuesday!!!

Very pretty take on a mandala...it would make a nice tattoo, too. I love nasturtiums but have never had them grow for me (me and my plastic garden...see an old post...)
ReplyDeleteOh funny, this is a compliment: I saw the mandala and thought it was a gift from Marianne!
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job on it and this is one of my favorite flowers.
I thought it was from Marianne too! Oh it's sooooo lovely.. i love the colors and the vine...
ReplyDeleteBEEE-U-TEA-FULL! Lo, this is wonderful....and definitely a day-brightener.... not snowing on this Coast - but - rain, heavy wind and brrrrr.....cold temps.
ReplyDeleteMy only sun today comes from your gorgeous Mandala!
Stay warm, my friend - Winter HAS to leave eventually..... (?)
Love,

Between you and Marianne, I am finding I want to try another mandala. This is really pretty with the flowers and tendrils swirling about! Great colors also!!!
ReplyDeletei am not sure whether i knew you were a mandala lady, but whatever you do is great!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!!!!! Such a lovely job...first one? Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteThis is so tranquil and lovely...I love those delicate tendrils...they guide my eyes through the piece...:)

ReplyDeleteGosh, this is pretty. The colors are so refreshing and uplifting. I've tried making mandalas on the computer and gave up. Maybe I should try again.
