drawing challenge: mandala







mandala, a circle, used to focus your attention, to meditate
I become calm in my head by knitting, walking and crocheting
and although I have never made a doily, it was the first thing I had to think of

I am not feeling well all week
and ill with the flu and having a cold since yesterday
I drink lots of tea with slices of ginger and lemon
and hope I feel a bit better tomorrow

our host this week is sweet Nadine of tinyWOOLF



mandala, een cirkel, gebruikt om je aandacht te richten, om te mediteren
ik word kalm in mijn hoofd van breien, wandelen en haken
en al heb ik nog nooit een doily gemaakt, dat was het eerste waar ik aan moest denken

ik ben de hele week al niet fit
en grieperig en verkouden sinds gisteren
ik drink liters thee met plakjes gember en citroen
en hoop dat ik me morgen wat beter voel

onze host deze week is sweet Nadine van tinyWOOLF

  11. Wishes for you to be better really soon, Patrice! The pictures of the natural mandalas make me content and calm. These are really nice. My mandala was round in my head when I first designed it, but when actually working on it, it turned into a square. But there's circular motion inside of the square at least. Be well, Norma, xo

  12. Dear Patrice,
    get well soon, my dear friend.
    You have found your medicine already... this mandala. Pure and beauty, so you.

    When you feel better, please tell me about the material you've work on. I like the traces after you've cutted ginger and lemon.

    Love

  21. Bedankt voor je comment op mijn blog. Heel mooie en leuke blog heb je trouwens! Prachtige foto's! Ik volg je ;-)
    Ik wens dat je snel beter wordt. 's morgens op nuchtere maag een glas lauw water met versgeperste citroen erin werkt bij mij altijd wondersnel.
