My head has been planted in a bucket of clay.  Polymer clay, to be exact.  I live and breathe clay and I do love it, otherwise my head would be stuck in something else.

Having said that, sometimes, even I have to do something else.  Cooking?  Nope.  Shopping?  Nope, I don't like that much, anymore.  Drawing?  Yes, that's my something else.

I edit classes, a lot of them and I love learning about other processes.  And, I have a lot of supplies, just not the right supplies for all the classes but one day, I surely will.  I know myself, I will.

I have the 120 box of Prismacolor pencils.  I have thick pads of paper.  I have fine point waterproof pens.  I have drafting tools.  I have all the "stuff".  So when I was editing Genevieve Crabe's class on the drawing Mandalas, my fingers started to itch - I had a physical reaction to her class.  It was the perfect combination of my affinity for geometry and drawing.

I'd never thought about how you draw a mandala.  I could have figured it out - it's the affinity for geometry, but her method made immediate sense to me so off I went.  I probably should have been sleeping but I stayed up and drew.

Peg, who helps me edit, saw the class (we're both in and out of the classes) and began drawing, too.  She borrowed some of my supplies so she was set.

Here are our very first mandalas and we wouldn't have done it without Genevieve Crabe's class.    Thank you for the inspiration, Genevieve!  You gave us the foundation and off we went.  It was, in every sense, the perfect "something else" for us.
