I’m so happy to be able to update you on the status of the community mandala. All of the pieces are in! We had an art party at church today and finished all the pieces. Now I will need some time to assemble it. I will be away for the next week, but I hope to complete it soon.

The collaged gessoboard with the torus mandala drawn on it.

Our process today.

I hope you have a beautiful day.

 

Community Mandala Prototype

I’m coordinating a community mandala project at my new church this Sunday and I’m a little nervous. The mandala will be 36″ x 36″ and I have never made one this big. Here is the prototype.

You can see my boys and my cats peeking out of it. My husband is implied with so many of the meaningful papers. A lot more people and ideas that are important to me are incorporated into this mandala of me. It includes fabric and lots of ephemera. This is my first one on Ampersand Gessobord and I love it! The Gessobord is covered with pages from my Pilgrim’s Progress from 1877. My mother-in-law gave it to me and I’m not sure she believed me when I said it is one of my favorite gifts of all time! This is mandala #32 of 100.
