Mini Mandala Mosaic


This is a 2 inch canvas and I wanted to try doing mosaic with cut magazine paper. I painted the rings of color and then glued on the mosaic pieces with modge podge. It is cute but the sheen of the modge podge with the acrylic gouache didn't really work. I added a coat of matte gel which dulled the image which I further disliked. Nevertheless this technique is one I will continue to play with.

Today was the first day I really didn't feel like meditating. I almost changed my routine because I wake up all stuffed up and when I do, I find the breathing difficult. My nose clears up during meditation but still, it's a little frustrating (resistance).
