i could kick myself (and have been)... this mandala was done for my friends 50th birthday (which was a couple days ago) and it started life in a different medium in different colours but… as I put the finishing touches on the first one, I spilled an entire jar of water over it and destroyed the whole mandala! so… back to the drawing board and I redid the entire thing, this time in texta so it wouldnt run! go to post it and didnt take my reading glasses. put the wrong price in the value box on the international shipping registration form (it was headed to Glasgow, Scotland for my dear Irish friend!) and put $3,800 instead of $380… Sammy didnt get it for his birthday:( its held up in customs because I put the wrong value on it and they may ask him for import duties!!! (FOOTNOTE – they did ask him for import duties and so it is on its way back to Australia for me to resend – this time as a GIFT!) I have learned my lesson… so Sammy my friend – happy 50th birthday – here it is!!! POSTSCRIPT 2009 Sammy came back to Australia just recently for several gigs and the mandala went home with him safely entubed in his luggage… we needed to reconnect on many levels… one of the most important was the learning that one must follow ones own path, no matter how unhappy it will leave others – because in striving to be everything for everyone else, we lose ourselves… Be true, be strong – walk the path less travelled… the minstrel is you, Sammy – playing bodhran, harp and guitar … wearing your cap and visiting the four directions and corners of the land… the celtic knots weave your magic music within us all… the claddagh rings bind us all together with love… On standard cartridge with a mixture of marker pens, textas, gouache and coloured pencils.
