Going back to Mandalas: a Review

This last week has been a bit tough.
Migraines, backpains and bad news have been my companions almost daily. 
As I could not sit down on my chair, I spent most of my time on the sofa jotting down notes and playing with my pens. In a couple of days I made a new Mandala.
I have always drawn my Mandalas using round shapes and then adding lines and doodles by eye.

This time, instead, I used my friend (and co-migraine sufferer) Cindy's
Cindy is the owner of THE RAINBOW ELEPHANT website and LINE WEAVING COMMUNITY
In her blog you can find a number of FREE Mandala Templates for you to download and doodle, as long as patterns and tips about doodling.
Cindy's DIY Template System is a set of half circle grids that help you draw dozens of different mandalas.
You only have to download, print and cut the shapes, read the easy instructions and you're ready to go! You can create small and large templates and combine the shapes in many ways.

This is my first Mandala done with Cindy's Template System.
Have a great weekend!

  3. This is truly beautiful. Sorry for your pain. I have suffered migraines since I was a little girl. "They" say the pain starts to subside when you get older. Well I am older and the pain is just as bad.
    Sending you healing energy
