Description:

For 2012, I am hosting a mandala series, one a month for the year. Join in on all or one: it's up to you.

In order to possibly bind the mandalas into a year-book, please make the format 7" X 6" sturdy paper. Make the mandala on the rightmost 6" X 6" area, leaving the leftmost inch as the area to bind it into a book. Please use sturdy, at least 100# paper (at least cardstock weight). You may draw, paint, collage, zentangle your mandala. For beginners, the swap 'homepage' link is to a wonderful YouTube video, 'How to Grow a Mandala'.

Open to all with a 4.90 or above rating, unrated newbies please pm me first. I reserve the right to ban at my discretion.

I will NOT angel: I don't have the time to do more mandalas properly, these are very labor intensive.

So excited to see this! I just requested to join your Zentangles group. Wanted to let you know the Zentangle group isn't defunct (never has been) so feel free to join.

Yes, I've joined!!!! Thank you, the swaps look great. And I deleted the defunct comment on my profile, and put a new one in.....

Wow! Thanks for hosting this. I have never done this before, but the you-tube video is awesome and I'm excited to try it! I love to learn new things so this is great.

the video looks like it would be fun to do I just don't know if I can do it and make my partners happy with my work

@mlookyloo1 - give it a try and see what you think before you sign up, if you're worried. I tried the specific technique in the video the other night and it turned out great!

If anyone wants to volunteer to angel this swap (hopefully it won;t be needed), please leave a comment here. I am sorry I can't commit to angeling these -- I am very busy for work the first half of 2012, and will not have the time.

The video definitely makes it look doable! Thanks for a great link :)

If it comes to be needed I would be happy to angel this swap, its wonderful practice!

sagesparrow 01/ 2/2012 #

Thanks, vagabondindigo --- I'm so busy the first half of the year, and my mandalas tend to be intricate, so they take me time.....after June I am willing to angel again. :)

I can angel for one person, if needed.

latentsmile 01/ 4/2012 #

I can angel for one person if needed as well. :)

I'm excited to start creating my FIRST-ever mandala this weekend. I just started Zentangling two weeks ago and am fascinated by the world of structured doodling!!!

I am excited and scared as well. I started my mandala a moment ago with the help of the video. I hope my partner will be happy!

sagesparrow 01/12/2012 #

I have mine laid out, I am doing a cutout and collage in layers, based on intertwined trees, I hope that it works out, I'm just holding my breath!!!!!!

sagesparrow 01/12/2012 #

Joan Joan Joan I hope you like it!!!!! :D

sagesparrow 01/30/2012 #
