Caricatures, Silhouettes and Illustrations by Leona Hosack

I tried to get this blog post out yesterday but my computer was down . It's back up now, so I'm sharing some more mandalas today! I've been keeping a mandala sketchbook for a couple of years now. I find it almost as effective  as meditating and is a  calming and reflective activity that helps me center myself, and gives me what I need to move on positively in my day. I enjoy adding quotes from my favorite authors! Here are some samples from my sketchbook, which is a small beautiful leather sketchbook, which was given to me by a friend a couple of years ago. "If anxiety tells you to seek greener pastures, remember that desire is your navigator, while anxiety is a witless liar" A great quote from Martha Beck! Just a soothing design! "Ye are the stars in the heaven of understanding..." From The Baha'i Writings. My little leather sketchbook. Happy Drawing!

   Here are two collages I did a while ago. These are both available in my Etsy shop as downloads. They can be printed out as cards for the  Baha'i Holiday-  Ayyam-i-ha which comes at the end of February. https://www.etsy.com/listing/121113322/joy-ayyam-i-ha-card?ref=listing-shop-header-3 These two collages are my latest submissions to Illustration Friday this week. The theme is "Exotic"! I sometimes feel like playing with shapes and cut paper. Collage can so freeing and fun for me!
