Some weeks ago, a very lovely and polite lady wrote me via the contact form on this blog, to ask if she could use my Mehndi Inspired Mandala Tutorial.
She was planing a class mainly for kids at a shop near were she lives. She said she always wanted to draw a mandala but didn't know how to do it and my tutorial had helped her getting started.
I immediately reply saying yes, first of all because she asked for my permission and second because I like to share what I do. I feel extremely sad when people use thing I've made just because "I found it on internet", with total disregard of what Copyright means.
Yesterday I got another email from Rebecca, the lovely and polite lady, telling me about the crafty afternoon mandala workshop she had done. This is what she wrote:
"We had the crafty afternoon today. I had mostly kids
come by and I gave them a print-out of your different elements/shapes.
I told them all to look your website up and watch your rock-painting tutorial!
I was amazed at the mandala results these children could achieve very quickly (see pic attached - the blue mandala is mine).
In that first pic - the orange and red mandala was done by quite a young girl - she really got it! Even a boy had a go.
I personally benefit from drawing the mandalas using your tutorial in a number of ways.
It took me a few goes to get the hang of balancing white space, not being too busy & fussy, making good colour choices! etc.
This is a really clear and easy to use tutorial. Thanks again for letting us use it."

She also says: "The tutorial really empowers people to have a go at Mandalas." "Me and my daughter have literally continued doing them tonight (see pic below)."
