DARE TO BE CREATIVE WORKSHOP
It has been said that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
And we fear what we don't understand.
So we must find the courage to face who we truly are and
understand how we can best utilize this power within --
this power that creates our own world and in turn, the world at large.

The mandala is now finished.
The design was completed using white colored pencil on black art paper.
Everything is done in its own time.
It should not be rushed.
Because it is a representation of a specific purpose the design needs to come when there is a knowingness that you are ready and an urge to work on it. &Paper Architecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10696233091832301431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758877249770395141.post-21500364871623630012013-02-11T00:31:00.000-08:002013-08-07T23:03:16.971-07:00Dare To Be Creative Workshop - June 8, 2013

They just don't think they can do it. They don't think they are capable.

are artists and creative
and some aren't

The coloring process has begun.
When I first starting making these mandalas, I was able to complete the coloring in just a couple of sessions.
I now find that I enjoy taking my time and moving more slowly and intuitively which gives more detailed results.
