Mini Mandalas.

I've been having fun painting tiny mandalas for the past few months. The very action of painting them is calming and a form of meditation compared to the constant over thinking I need to do on some of my other creations.

As a change from working on such small surfaces I have also been making meditation stones which can be held in the palm of the hand when someone is, um...well meditating. Some are quite small like these examples which sold at the Christmas Market at the Hastings Community Arts Centre last December.

Then moving up to paperweight sizes which means I can add much more detail. These have been selling well at the CAN in Napier. It is fun to see what designs and colour combinations people like the most although it really does come down to personal taste.

As I am constantly working on these you can check out my year-old Facebook page for new work for sale. There is also a price list for commissioned work and a way to message me if you would like to know more.
