~**~**~ " S H A D O W   M A N D A L A  " ~**~**~


I offered up to the Steemit Artist Community an Invitation to collaborate on this photograph:

This is a photo I took on our deck of the shadow of our little cafe table.  Shadows and reflections really inspire me and I take every opportunity to capture their beauty.

Then, 19 more artists took my image and 

did their own creative thing 

to produce 28 Collaborative Masterpieces.

Collaboration by @juanmiguelsalas:


Pronoia, A Mandala and A Promise by @englishtchivry - It's a gym bag!!!


Sacred Glass by @opheliafu:

Sacred glass glistens

As the final colours of the day

Shine their fading warmth

Red and green tint the polished stone floor

Silence wraps itself in a calming embrace

As night throws over its sapphire cloak

Headlights illuminate the panes

With flashes of moving light

That is only captured in peripheral vision

My focus lost to deeper thoughts.

Moveable Feast by @aksinya:


Beautiful Colors of Light by @sumsum:

May your life be bright
be happy and full of love
experience all beautiful colors of light
and enjoy your blessings from above.


The Solar Clock story/poetry by @jyezie:

Everyone felt his or her internal clock ticking. Today, or tonight for some, was the twelve hour ceremony.

Each year, at the exact same moment

...the light of the sun is clouded by a chronograph.
No seconds, no minute, just the hours passing.
The humanity had
6 hours to prepare for 6 hours of special dreams.
In an order as variable as the dreamers, each hour had its Dream:

love-hate-pleasure-pain-joy-fear.    
The deep slumber came, avidly enthralling a world in its nest
The senses acutely awoken while the bodies rest
 

Enters the pain
With fire on every pore
 

Swords threatens the veins
As the fear joins the galore
 

 Love heals the wounds
 blessed by a faerie moon
 

Hate eclipses your sight
while anger clouds wrong and right
 

Pleasure dilutes the hell, the scene
drops after drops of ecstasy
 

Music notes have you on your feet

sprinkling joy on your choreography
 

To be continued ...

 Shadow Mandala Inspired Doodling by @girlbeforemirror (inspired by my original image)...


Then, the amazing colored version 


Coloring In @girlbeforemirror's Mandala Doodle was created by @pyrowings:


@girlbeforemirror also offered a post with this image and poetry:


She knows if she leaves here,
Her life will be lost.
So here she remains,
And her kin wear the cost.
She's not seeking pity,
Though it may seem the shoe fits.
Stuck within these four walls,
She can still reach Steemit.

which was then transformed into this
