Mandalas

Wed Jun 17, 2009, 1:36 PM
I have always wanted to draw but I always thought that I couldn't. I think I was judging myself against other people's drawings too much and just gave up.

Then I found Biffybean ([link]). Her blog is just so inspiring that I decided to pick up my (ballpoint) pen and just try to draw again. This time a mandala.

She always says that drawing them should be more like a meditative experience and less of a trying to get things right. Any art that pops up is just a perk of drawing them.

I think this is the attitude that I always wanted to learn from but all of my art teachers focused on being "perfect" which is darn near impossible for me. I would rather have fun and enjoy myself.

So I challenge you to draw a mandala and have some fun with your art.

  • Mood: Sociable
  • Listening to: Strange Overtones by David Byrne and Brian Eno

My well of creativity is a living thing.
Born from an irrational mind, it leaves no stone unturned.
Unfortunately, it is all but dry.
Soon it will begin to wither and then to die.
Let us hope for the best.
Thank you for the :+fav:

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE ! !

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!

If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!

Hey!

I havn't taed to you in such a long time. You gotta tell me what's up and all.

How has collage life been?
College has been good. I haven't been on here in forever. I always feel like I have nothing to share even though I have a community knitting site called Ravelry that I share all of my knitting on that I could easily put on here too.

I always see all the artwork and get sad because I can't do that. I can only write and that always seems to be less exciting somehow.

Anyway, I love my classes and I am taking a Native American Literature course right now. It is fascinating. And the campus is gorgeous. I should take a few landscape pictures and put them on here just from campus. Now the trick is if I will actually do that or not. Hope you are doing well.
;-;
I haven't been on in a while either. I hardly come on anymore, actually. I miss you, you know.
I think your knitting is something to share! I liked a lot of the stuff you had, even if I didn't get to see a lot of it. There's nothing wrong with showing your stuff in different places. ^^
Writing is just as exciting if you ask me. In my case, I can't write so all the stories I come up with can't be done unless I sit down and draw it. It's not the same really and I would love to able to let me ideas flow through words sometime rather then a picture. xD
That's great. I'm glad your liking it. ^^ Wish I could say the same about me. ;-; That does sound really interesting. I'm guessing it's a good class then. Oo,I think you should. I would love to see it. ^^ I'm doing okay. It could be better though. xD

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?


It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.

Me? A poet? Thank you for thinking so. I think you have captured my attention enough to actually look at that poetry contest. I have been in a more poetic mood lately.

Again, thanks! :hug:
