Her graceful pen and ink drawings look like intricate mandalas, but a closer look reveals a clever weaving of letters and numbers from a single word. The designs are detailed, but there are no special patterns to memorize. All you need is a favorite pen and some paper. Janet steps you through the technique and shows how she enhanced her completed mandalas with colored pencils, markers, and watercolors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe finished mandala makes a great, one-of-a-kind gift for a special occasion.

In truth, there’s nothing ordinary about what she creates. What is ordinary is what she uses: recycled and reclaimed objects, construction leftovers, discarded magazines, candle stubs, coffee grounds, natural materials, and even old paper clips. She loves to explore different media and will attempt to make art out of nearly anything. You can often find her in the Art Parts Creative Reuse store in Boulder, softly exclaiming to herself, “I could make art out of that!”. She enjoys the challenge of turning ordinary materials and cast-off items into objects of beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMuch of Janet’s work involves a spiritual element. It’s no surprise, given that the goal of her own art making is to create a beautiful, harmonious, and peaceful environment. Woven throughout her work is a deep love for geometry and pattern. She’s made a lifetime study of art history around the world and has been influenced by works as diverse as ancient manuscripts, medieval architecture, American quilts, Australian aboriginal paintings, Byzantine mosaics, and the decorative traditions of India and the Middle East. Their patterns are a starting point and don’t necessarily result in a predetermined layout. For her, art making is about beginning and then finding out where the piece leads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTrue to her personal approach to art, Janet’s classes are fundamentally about exploring and experimenting. Rather than teaching students how to make a particular piece of art, she likes to demonstrate what can be done with a set of materials and then turn students loose to play with them. It’s both astonishing and instructive to see how different the results can be. Classes with her are delightful adventures in discovering the unexpected! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisit her website: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artoftheordinary.net\/\" title=\"artoftheordinary.net\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eartoftheordinary.net\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Hands Paperie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48621280067838,"sku":"ONLINE_WORD_0913","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9831\/4948\/files\/strickler_f26_WRD_mandala_01.png?v=1785348804","url":"https:\/\/twohandspaperie.com\/products\/hidden-word-mandala-technique-new-online-class-sept-13","provider":"Two Hands Paperie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
