Page for Emmy


My partner at FAF this month is Emmy.

Her theme is Mandalas and she wants to know the meaning of our mandala's.
Here goes:

As you can tell colour is very important to me and these colours are usually in my work.
Pink to be playful.
Purple is a sacred colour and appears in many of my favourite flowers. It is also a romantic colour.
Turquoise represents femininity and water - the sea for me, I love its changeable nature.
I have used strong colours to represent strength of course.

The spiral appears in my work often is a symbol of rebirth and represents my journey thorough life - never straight forward is it!
The little doll in the centre represents me. She is dressed in turquoise for femininity.


The rest represents the influences on my creativity.
The beach and sea. Nature and in particular flowers.
Music - I never do anything with out music playing. I think I may have told you before I have very eclectic tastes.
I sing a lot, it raises my spirits. My neighbours hear me singing anything from opera to pop! Poor people ;0)

I hope you like it Emmy.
