Louise Gale Mandala Class and 100 days of Mandalas I have been really getting Into mandalas lately and I am simply having so much fun creating these beautiful circular and healing symbols. About a month ago I registered for Lousie Gale's mixed media mandala class. Before the class, I was always attracted to mandalas and even attempted to create them but I always felt like I just wasn't getting the process. So when I found out that Lousie Gale was offering a mandala class I quickly registered.
Well I have to be honest, the class was simply amazing. The class was a total of 4 weeks and each week we learned different takes on mandalas and unique ways of creating these beautiful symbols. Another really important aspect that I realized was that while creating these mandalas I felt like a deep sense of healing. There truly is something meditative about the process. I don't usually plan what my mandalas will look like but rather just let my intuition guide me. After the class, I decided to participate in the 100 days project. The project is basically about making something everyday for 100 days. The choice of what you are going to make is yours but the rule is you gotta make it every day for 100 days. So I decided to create mandalas. I am trying to post many of my mandalas on instagram with the hashtags #the100daysproject and #100daysofmandalas. If your on instagram you can take a look at some of what I am creating.. My instagram name is artonthemoon. Let me know if you are participating in the 100 day project and I will take a look at your creations. Some of my Mandalas

I am really into bohemian decor and all the colors and patterns that go into the decorating process. I am simply in love with the artsy look that comes with bohemian decor and the free spirit approach to decorating. Really anything goes with boho decor. You can be as funky and colorful as you want. Here are some images of bohemian decor from the internet. Links to original site are provided below and you can click on image and it will link to original post.
The past few weeks have been very busy. The first weekend of April I took a mini vacation to the East Coast to see friends and family. It is the first trip I have taken since moving to Kansas and it felt amazing to get away and be with my sister, my friends and my cute niece, a Pomeranian and my nephew, a poodle. Being so far from the airport was a huge challenge. I left at about 6 a.m on Thursday morning in order to take a scheduled shuttle from the Army base to Kansas City, KS where the airport is located. It too about 2 1/2 hours to get there. Once at the airport I had to wait until 3:30 to board the plane. After a transfer in North Carolina, I finally got to JFK at 10 p.m and my sister picked me up and drove me to her house in NJ.The next morning we drove 6 hours to visit a very good friend in Virginia Beach, VA. I was so glad to be back in the Hampton Roads area even if it was only for a day and a half. I was stationed in Norfolk for 5 years while in the Navy and then stayed there for a few years after my contract was up. I feel really contacted to the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area and it was just so much fun to visit and eat at some of my favorite restaurants. We tried to do as many things in a day that we could. We went to the beach, ate an amazing Greek restaurant, shopped in a cute historical district in Norfolk and just enjoyed the amazing weather. I have to say I felt rejuvenated after this trip ( which was only like 4 days and half of that was travel!). And when I got back I started some art projects........ In addition to my travel, I am starting lots of art projects. One of these projects is the 100 portrait project. I really want to get better at drawing and painting portraits so I started the project in order to motivate myself to draw more faces. I will be sharing these on instagram #100portraitproject and if you'd like to share your portraits you can use hashtag and I will take a look at your creations.
