I appreciate it. Well, it is good to mix it up some I think...you know "break out the the lines" as they say. Why should Mandalas be any different? It just seemed to evolve that way on this day and I went with it. I really like doing this series. I don't know what I am going to do with it, but for now I am just doing them.Diane M.

You really got me thinking with ones like this one -- where there is the inner most circle, but you also break beyond the line of it with more circles. It just is so striking... Thanks for sharing them with all of us! miracles, k-Kara Chipoletti Jones of GriefAndCreativity dot comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110578035201758404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875650572842698105.post-9942232077172668982009-11-19T11:29:52.572-05:002009-11-19T11:29:52.572-05:00Shannon—

I am hoping that the artist/creative people that I have met this month with AEDM will continue to be my friends after the challenge is over. I think supporting each other as artists is very important.Diane M.

Unlike traditional art schooling thought of planning the composition ahead of time etc. I spend a lot of my days lately UNLEARNING some things about art school and trusting my "creative source".Diane M.
