JB's Mandala / Animal Wednesday

I couldn’t come empty handed for JB in P-town, so I made her a birth mandala too.

In both mandalas I included two symbols who were on my wish list for a very long time, but these things just need the right moment to be used.

In JB’s mandala I finally could use the daffodil, which felt good in hers.

Daffodil’s have meanings of faith, honesty, truth, forgiveness, and forthrightness. They are ever vigilant in returning each spring, and with their return we are reminded that their beauty is capable of following on the shirttails of even the harshest winters (or tribulations).

After meeting JB I think the daffodil is perfect in her mandala, a beautiful symbolic meaning.

the animal I used is the magpie

Happy Animal Wednesday!

  8. Liebe Marianne,
    Although I have not yet met JB (soon, though), this Mandala seems perfect for her... she is bright with a happy, joyful smile - like a Daffodil....and the Magpie (a lovely, but "impish" bird) reflects her playful, mischevious side!

    WELL DONE!!!

    Love, always,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  12. ah, if JB blogged (forgetaboutit!) she would be squealing with delight, but not as much as seeing the real deal. i can't wait to decide where our birth mandalas will be held. they are sacred gifts from the most special friend.

    i think you captured JB, marianne.
