My, my, my, Mandalas!

My mandalas are original artworks, hand-drawn and colored and mounted on 6x6x1.75 inch gesso board.  The insert on the back, inside, describes the corresponding chakra and provides a meditation for healing, opening or balancing that chakra.  They are available for purchase in the Chakra Garden & Boutique at Lemongrass Spa in Encinitas, and on the Lily Girl website, as part of the Divine Spirit Collection of art and jewelry.

The Goddess of All Good Things

I am enchanted by bright pink, fuschia, orange, and red these days.  For a while these colors have been making me happy and inspiring much artful endeavor.  I was checking out Michelle Ward's (Green Pepper Press) 54th Crusade...creating a color and naming it (actually, starting with the name and creating the color...so, the Crusade was an inspiration). I had just completed this background using all these colors.  I didn't think about naming it until I read the Crusade, but it was immediately clear to me that I must name this color "Lakshmi's Garden."  Lakshmi (in her many forms) is the Hindu goddess of all things good:  wealth, prosperity (both spiritual and material), beauty, light, wisdom, fertility, generosity, fortune, grace, charm, courage and good luck.  See...everything good!  And I'm about EVERYTHING, yeah...ALL OF IT being good right now.  I'm giving myself permission to have EVERYTHING be good in my life.  Why do we try to focus our positive energy on just one thing or two?  My astrologer and Moon Book co-author, Suzann Lennox tells me I don't have to do that!  And the planets are with me on this!  Thank you Suzann, and thank you, Lakshmi, for EVERYTHING...especially your colors.

So I didn't really know what I was going to put into this background (it's actually half of a two-page spread) until I named it.  I had been working on a sketch of Lakshmi and now I know where she will go.  She will be standing on a lotus, and I will have to draw four arms...that means four hands...and I'm not so good at hands yet.  But I have a feeling she will be beautiful!

Chakra Energy is Flowing!

So thrilled to be a part of the Lemongrass Spa Chakra Garden!  It is such an inspiring and beautiful place.  And my artwork is featured and will be offered for sale!  I am proud and honored to be part of this endeavor that has brought so many amazing people together...and will continue to do so, I'm certain.  I hope to see you there as well!

can't wait 'til sunday!

DIVINE SPIRIT, for me, is an amazing community of friends and artists.  They are angels, mermaids, sweet souls, wise women.  There has been this outpouring of creativity between all of us, surrounding us, sustaining us and filling us; it goes so much farther beyond what any one of us could experience on our own.  We can barely contain it all among just the few of us and so we are compelled to share it will everyone; bring anyone and everyone into the community through art, meditation, creativity, and love;  and take us all beyond the limits we all put on ourselves.  I love my Divine Spirit collaborators with all my heart, and I am eager to spread the love and juiciness to all of you!

Peachy Pink Warm Fuzzies

So much love and support is surrounding me lately, I am bursting with joy and creativity.  At our Divine Spirit Circle Monday night I just felt FULL.  The air was full of light, rose essence and magic! The women in this Circle are so amazing...and I feel amazing to be part of it.  I'm feeling peachy pink and my hands smell like cinnamon...life is good!
