For the past few months, I’ve been on a very serious mission to add more fun to my life.
I mean, I’m always on this mission but I’ve been taking it more seriously lately.
For me, this has involved doing things that I’ve thought about doing for a long time but just never got around to it.
Some of these activities were: camping, hiking in an old growth forest, apple picking, going to Storm King, fall foliage oogling and making things.
I love making things.
Designing, knitting, silkscreening, origami, cooking, drawing, jewelry…
There’s something special that happens when you witness your body having a direct affect on the object in front of you. Taking raw materials and utilizing your creative force to make a new thing out of it.
Something ONLY YOU can make!
One of the things I’ve thought about doing for a long time is making a zine. Like thought about since the 90s.
Zines are self-publishing at it’s finest.
And after endless requests to turn my mandalas into a coloring book, I’ve obliged!
I present to you…
This Book of Mandalas is for Coloring.
A real live, you can hold it in your hands, coloring book!
Comprised of 14 mandalas, made of black outlines, ready for COLOR to be unleashed within them, or outside them, there are no rules here.
This little booklet is imperfect and quirky and awkward and I adore it.
(You can buy one for $10 here. There are only 13 available. And that includes shipping.)
About the content: These mandalas are intuitive downloads that provide healing and clearing via encoded sacred geometric shapes when you look at them. When you color them, you are personalizing the experience to what you need to see and having your own intuitive download. It’s also very meditative, creative flow inducing and you know… fun!
So, the moral of this story:
Have more fun, do stuff you’ve always wanted to do and
for gosh sakes, let your inner creative anima out to prowl around
(especially the imperfect and quirky and awkward parts).
(PS – Creativity isn’t just for artists – we are ALL innately creative. Everything we do and say and are is creativity!)
Oh and buy the zine if you’d like to color!
I’ve also put together a more refined coloring book which will be available at the end of November – you can order that here. It’s $25 including shipping. And the first 20 people who order get a BONUS surprise! Might I add these would make a great holiday gift! 😉
