Mandalas!!!!!

Today I've learnt heaps! We had another guitar session today and we learnt two new cords A7 and G and trust me they are not that hard to learn. Also we got some songs to learn, some Elvis songs and Happy Birthday. We worked so hard that my fingers still ache from this morning. Then after lunch we started some new patterns workshops I'm doing Mandalas. Now your probably wondering what on earth is a Mandala? A mandala is a pattern that lots of religions use. What they do is they get alot of different coloured sands (note these sands are not dyed they are naturally coloured sand) and they turn the sand into a picture with theses special brushes and they make a picture with the centre being the seed. Making a sand Mandala takes about six days and then when they are done they sweep it all up and then they take it to the river and pour the sand in and it is a blessing on the world. Then we started to make our own Mandalas, No not using sand using pencil.
