another frustrating day of procrastination!
in the end, i settled on creating a mandala which is obviously not finished yet.
in the end, i settled on creating a mandala which is obviously not finished yet.
the mandala is 8" diam.
i've always enjoyed creating mandalas and, days ago, when i saw a FREE mandala course was being offered via willowing's ning site, i immediately signed up for it. the course starts on november 14th so, if you're interested, you can sign up here.
(ADDITION - so sorry, everyone! rita just brought it to my attention that you need to sign up before you can actually view the mandala class link. the sign up is to willowing's (tamara laporte) NING site where you will find lots of goodies and a supportive art community. once you register to willowing's art community, you should THEN be able to access the FREE mandala class link provided above)

Beautiful photography as usual of the bottle brush Serena, also a great mandala.

Hi Serena.
ReplyDeleteYour mandala is very pretty. That is something I have not tried to do yet. Thanks for your comment; tea bags have many uses and I often use them for staining.

That flower is amazing. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteYour mandala is so perfect. How do you do that? I am sure it is gonna be just beautiful when you add color. That bottle brush sure is amazing how it unfolds from the bud. Hope you had a great day. It's a very gray day here. A bit of sprinkly rain. We are heading to Sri Lanka early in the morning so won't be around for the next week. Take care! Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour mandala is mesmerizing & that flower is beyond amazing! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...that flower is just amazing! I've heard about the Bottle Brush plant but never seen a close up of it like this. Gorgeous! And I love your mandala too...I used to follow Willowing's video's on YouTube but haven't checked her out for awhile so I'm off to do it now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like - despite the fact you're putting projects off as long as you can each day - you're enjoying the art month. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll be fantastic once it's done Serena all your works so lovely, thanks so much for sharing it, much love Jennibellie xx
ReplyDeleteYou're getting a head start, I see! The mandala is beautiful and full of lovely, graceful curves.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying your inspirational plant photos each day. They're all so vibrant and beautiful. Australia must be a colorful place to live!
Your photos are amazing! Great mandala too.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful mandala. I look forward to seeing it in full color when it's done. Those flowers! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe mandala is looking great. I've never tried to create one. Maybe I will have a go during AEDM!
ReplyDeleteGreat macros of the sneeze inducing bottlebrush... even the poor dog gets hayfever when they are out... lucky they are beautiful.. love the mandela... going to head over and look at the course xx
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing mandala.
ReplyDeleteI really like your mandala, it's beautifully made.
ReplyDeleteMost bottlebrush trees have lost their needles over here.
ReplyDeleteAwesoem mandala. Is that the class by Guadalupe? She is an Argentinian that´s going to be a teacher at the Life Book classes.
You have the most striking, exotic plants down there! Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt won't let you look at anything without signing up on that link. Does the mandala course cost anything? Just curious. If it does, no point in me signing up. Broke already this month--LOL!
Your mandala is graceful--bold, yet delicate. Can hardly wait to see what you do with it. Hugs! :):)
Your mandala is beautiful and the bottlebrush is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose photographs of the bottlebrush are stunning. I just returned to Europe from 4 years in Australia and you've reminded me how stunning some of the plantlife there is. And the mandala is fab - looking forward to seeing the final results.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your mandala!! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour Mandala has a gotgeous start, thanks so much for the link. hopefully I will be able to join and start as mandalas are a favorite art form of mine. I just got a book on Zentangle Mandalas that has inspired me.
ReplyDeleteYou're photos are great too so you actually posted two creatve projects for the day. I think i would like to join AEDM even if I am getting a late start.
Thanks for sharing.

I know I owe you a return email Serena, I'm a bit bogged down at the moment trying to keep up.
ReplyDeleteI have signed up for the same mandala class and can't wait to start it. Your mandala is so beautiful :)
The australian bottlebrush, one of my favourite native flowers, I love the explosion of colour
Lee:)
OMGosh!! that is amazing! It really does look like a bottle brush. Does it feel like one LOL I would go camera crazy if I were there!
ReplyDeleteI love your mandela. I was actually thinking of trying one the other day. I have a coffee can that my son emptied and I was thinking about using it to trace. I never did but I still can. I'm going to check out that link. I love taking classes and if it's free that means I can. I am broke. I really wanted to take a suzi blu class and can't afford it right now :O(
Can't wait to see your mandela in color!
