Oh how I love seeing these beautiful images on the sand.
The colors and textures are so beautiful on the eye.
I decided to hug my nature mandala with my shadow before I said goodbye to it.
Mandala’s take us into a meditative state whilst creating them and it is very easy to become attached to these lovely little creations, especially when they are so precious – made from natural & found objects. One of the amazing parts of this process is leaving this nature mandala right where I created it for others to find on their own daily explorations or perhaps the breeze will change it slightly and “mess it up”. Being able to detach myself and let this go is such an important part of this too, the joy and creation is all in the process. I am continuing my own journey in the art of letting go as much as I can.

Every Monday {most Monday’s!} I share a nature mandala I have created using natural objects found on my daily explorations. This is a beautiful process for grounding {my word for the year}, connecting with nature and practicing the art of letting go.
Other nature mandala’s I have made can be seen in my porfolio
Hi, I'm Louise and thank you so much for visiting me here. I am a mixed media artist, who is passionate about combining the healing energy of nature and color with the meditative process of mandala making
Love the colors of this mandala!! so pretty =-)
Thank you Monica. I love these too, didn’t think about them at all, which is always fun. 🙂 xx
Oh Louise, this is so beautiful, and I love your shadow hug. I saw it before I read what you’d written and I love taking photos of shadows but this is a special one.
You are so right about leaving our creations for other people to find. The joy in doing that and the joy in finding. And for learning how to let go too. I can so connect with that.
My finds on beaches are not usually so colourful but I will keep looking!
Thanks Sandie, it was a lot of fun hugging the mandala. 🙂 Cant wait to see your finds. xx
