Now It Is Colored

I took Bonny’s advice and put the colors in the black mandala from yesterday.Yes, I like the color better. 

Traveling Black Mandala

It seems I always do my mandalas in color so I wondered how it would look all in black.  Gosh, it was hard not to add color somewhere

Circle Of Inspiration

I recently found “One Single Impression”  thanks to Lisa At Artsy Endeavors.  One Single Impression is a community of poets writing and sharing haiku and poetry.  There is a prompt every Sunday to inspire the poetry in us.  The prompt this week is “Circle”.  How could I resist using a mandala:)  Plus I love writing haiku in the 5-7-5 format.

I posted this mandala to accompany the haiku.

A circle of love

A place of inspiration

To share with you all.

Thanks for inviting me here Lisa.

More haiku here.  Sometimes art leads me to writing haiku and sometimes haiku leads me to art.

Be sure to look at my Painted Daisies Blog on Monday for the St Patrick Cactus Monday.

Zendala

After making my last mandala where I used a technique from Zentangle, I got to thinking about the influence.

I decided I need to call my mandalas, Zendalas :)   And this zendala was born along with a new word.
