Tibetan Buddhist Monk Sand Mandala
|
Ongoing at the Visual Arts Center in
Panama City, FL for the next 5 days.
The creation of the sand mandala is a
multi day process, it will take at least
4-5 days to complete (I think they have
more or less complicated mandalas
depending on the number of days they
have). They use long funnels to apply
the sand to the pattern, you can see
them in the foreground here. They scoop up the multicolor sand and then tap it slowly out onto the
pattern. This is about all I know about
the techniques used, you can see some
completed ones in the Sand Mandala Group and I will be posting the day to day
process on Flickr too!
Once they are done, they wipe the
mandala away, and disperse the sand on
the wind.
