Brightlight Mandalas: December 2015

MANDALA FASCINATION

Since childhood I have been fascinated with mandalas. Even before I knew the term or the concept as it is known in the orient, I was attracted to the circular stained glass windows in medieval churches, the rose windows. Perhaps it was part of my Catholic heritage that I later took up stained glass. One of my first pieces was a mandala design.
*******
When I saw my first Tibetan mandala, I was immediately intrigued; but since I am not of that tradition, I have come up with a different approach to the art. Now I look at all my graphic creations as mandalas in the sense of being visual meditations.

PARENT BLOG

This site is a subsidiary of my first blog, Nightblooming Cards.
Information pertinent to both sites is listed there including contact information, price list, ordering details, purpose, and thank you entries.
*******
I offer a third & fourth blog which are free how to blogs showing you how to design your own mandalas. Some of you may just be interested in how it is done. I am always looking for ways to share what I have been given.

USE OF DESIGNS

While I reserve all rights to my own designs, I have created many of these designs in outline form which makes them adaptable to other mediums. I have done stained glass in the past and some of these designs could be used for stained glass creations. Tile, quilt and embroidery are other ways these designs could be used. I would be delighted to see them used as such and hereby give permission for that kind of use. I would appreciate getting a picture of your creation.
*******
Some of these designs could also be used for a mural. If you needed more material to make them large enough, I could add more outer rings to enlarge the design. You might suggest elements you would like me to add. While the potential is there to make these designs larger and more elaborate, I have not done so as I am aiming for the images to fit best on prints in the 13"x19" to 23"x34.5" range. I would be happy to go larger if there is a demand.
********
For $5.00, I would burn a disc for you and send you a CD with the design on it.
