| Fire Ring Mandala: Day 7 of 30 Day Mandala Challenge |
A Facebook Friend (FBF) alerted me to a 30 Day Mandala Making Challenge on FB. It sparked something in me. I dove in. I'm noticing that the group on FB isn't at all active, but the existence of the challenge and the fact that someone notified me about it and my deepest self went "YEAH!" is good enough for me. Today is Day 7. I'm finding myself creating images that are arising from some of the photography I've been doing this past year. And I'm playing around with photoshop... expanding my familiarity with the program's capabilities.
I'm basically leaving my mind out of the equation. I'm simply letting myself explore and see what shows up. I'm staying away from concepts like PERFECTION or SENSIBLE or LIKE OTHER PEOPLE'S MANDALAS. I'm finding it rewarding to allow the idea of CIRCLE to slide into the idea of OVAL. I'm finding it rewarding to allow the mandalas to arise as they want... without a great deal of manipulation. I like the idea of FOUND MANDALAS. I'm observing that the mandala naming seems like an important component of this process. I enjoy watching the names arise.
It'll be fun to see what arises in the coming days.
Here are the 6 previous mandalas I've created for this project:
