But I've wanted to do one with my hands on paper a la Carl Jung. Have you seen his? There's a book containing the ones he did.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-45193731497505080822008-11-26T01:15:00.000-05:002008-11-26T01:15:00.000-05:00how wonderful to be able to do artwork with your g...how wonderful to be able to do artwork with your grandgirl!!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381213681911598073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-87353860154509438612008-11-25T16:03:00.000-05:002008-11-25T16:03:00.000-05:00Hi Vicki,I'm so glad to hear that you are doing a ...Hi Vicki,<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad to hear that you are doing a mandala. They really are so relaxing and a lot of fun. I answered about pens in your previous post...hope it helps.<BR/><BR/>I usually draw the outer circle. With a pencil, I mark around the edge in the portion size I want to work in...then I mark the centre and then, freehand in pen from there, usually working from the centre outwards. However, this all depends the effect you want. Some mandalas aren't repetitive in design at all. Some are a picture within the whole circle that carrys a spiritual/meaningful message for the artist. Your granddaughter is so right though...there should be no rules in art as it's such a personal thing. Have fun creating!<BR/><BR/>love, light and peace,<BR/>serenaSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-45423122234718861992008-11-25T15:41:00.000-05:002008-11-25T15:41:00.000-05:00wow! now that's a mandala!

I love it that your granddaughter is able to articulate her thoughts and feelings - yup - there is no wrong way when you are an artist - that is gorgeous. I don't know what others use, but I use the Pitt black artist pens - I bought a set of 4 in a packet and they all have a different size tip on them. Talk to you soon.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319509488725838171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-85421222502115758862008-11-25T09:34:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:34:00.000-05:00Hi Vicki...just over on AEDM...
