Parcheesi
This is my dad's Parcheesi board, circa 1960.
I love the pieces: they are made of wood, stained the four
colors, and shellacked. One of the dice went missing so we
had to substitute the boorishly large plastic-y one, more's the
pity.

Merry Christmas
Today I received an amazing Christmas gift from my
best friend. She sent me a groovy mandala kit, which has a wheel
with all kinds of stencils on it. The wheel fits in a case holding
paper. You move the wheel around using arrow guides and
stencil your way into bliss.
Thank you, Beams. I love it.
I hope everyone is having a magical holiday.

The kids and I made gingerbread houses today, so I
swiped some sweets for this mandala.
If you live in or around Richmond, you probably
know about For the Love of Chocolate, an amazing candy
shop in Carytown. Go there. Get yourself a treat.

This is another one made using a kaleidoscope program.
I used a picture of the Sugar Plum Fairy's costume from
The Nutcracker. We went to see it tonight and it was fabulous.

Cairns.
This one has captured my attention. It isn't
exactly symmetrical, which usually bothers me. However,
it is balanced-the very nature of cairns. After I drew it, I returned
to it several times, examining the 'rocks' to see if they really
would balance.
Fascinating.

Copic pen and that lovely cheap white paper.
I wanted to add more to this, but it wanted to be as it is.

I wish you all could smell this mandala-that piece in the
middle is a slice off the bottom of our Christmas tree.
Maybe it is a little wintry here, after all.

This colorful mandala was done with a kaleidoscope program with Om Mani Padme Hum done in wordart on top. I'm telling myself that making one digitally is not cheating...

And now for something completely different. The mandala is in the lower right corner, drawn with chalk on the Free Speech Monument in Charlottesville. Check it out: http://www.tjcenter.org/monument/

Embroidery on felt. The hoop is about 4"across. This is my first stitchery mandala. I really enjoyed making it.

Here's another one drawn with my lovely Copic pen. This mandala is actually quite small, only about 1.5 square inches. I do so like tiny things.

Favorite Pen
I drew this mandala with a Copic Multiliner SP in nib size 0.7. I love this pen. It has a nice weight and a smooth motion on the paper. The ink is nice and black and the pen is refillable.
