We read about using an apple corer gadget as a simple template for a small mandala. This could be used with various art materials, but I've used Zentangle drawing. Here's what I've been doing lately. They are all done on five inch square paper.

Just wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so wonderful. I saw an apple corer thingy at the grocery store the other day and immediately thought of you and the work you did previously with it.
ReplyDeleteDo you eat or sleep?........how can you create so many beautiful pieces in a day? These are really special. M
ReplyDeleteI love all your apple-corer mandalas. They are so intricate it's hard to remember they are so small! I'm getting hooked on mandalas too!
ReplyDeleteI have an apple corer on my grocery list now. I'm so inspired by your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteYour mandalas are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your work! I have been doing Zendalas for some time now (Mandalas before that), but I like the idea of working bigger, like a 5 inch square. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you make the time to do so many tangles, but DON'T STOP!!!
ReplyDeleteYowzer!! These are gorgeous!!! Love your additions of color - very subtle and elegant.....
ReplyDelete(Would you believe the computer generated verification word for this post was 'mantras'? )
Incredible! Each one is so beautiful! I can't believe these are only 5 inch square. What great detail!
ReplyDeleteOMG! You've done it again! These are just GORGEOUS! ...any chance that Rose Window is for sale? I must have it...
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous!!! I love the idea that you used the apple corer thingy but also the fourth one from the top reminds me of a color wheel. I have been wanting to do something different and artistic for a color wheel. Thanks for the inspiration!
