CD Cover

Isn't this fun?! One of my mandalas has been used for a CD cover! The mandala below I made a few years ago for someone I hardly knew. My friend Muktha asked me to paint it for a friend of hers, Deep. She didn´t know the date of birth and since she wanted it to be a surprise I just painted a personal mandala with my intuition . Muktha's wish was that a Ganesha had to be in the mandala. Normally I don´t work this way, but the request and the lack of guidance from the date of birth created a new sense of freedom, in which I was very inspired and I made the mandala with a lot of pleasure. Afterwards Orange was the perfect colour chosen for this person. In the video above you see the cover and you can hear a part of the Mantra from Deep's Album Narayana.

  5. This is awesome cool!!!!! Congratulations!!!! I hope you gain some rights and income from this, but the honor is terrific too.

    I was wondering about you yesterday when I heard so many flights were cancelled due to the Icelandic volcano eruption. Were you affected...leaving you home or stuck anywhere?
