Several of the illustrations in the Santa Season series were originally hand drawn as cards that I sold at one of my first crafts fairs. You'll find the original 1976 copyright mark on them (elves, Santa, angel, wreath, candles). They were part of a show I participated in at California State University in Sacramento, back then known as Sacramento State University, before the shift to CSUs. I could have redrawn them, but decided to just \"clean them up\" using digital editing programs. I was unable to locate the original drawings, so I scanned the prints into the computer and set to work. The results are less than perfect, but they are presented here for your enjoyment and coloring fun.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are 4 Volumes of Santa Season - collect them all!! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Volume 1 - Santa and His Elves\u003cbr\u003e Volume 2 - Christmas Cheer\u003cbr\u003e Volume 3 - Candlelight\u003cbr\u003e Volume 4 - Stuffed Stockings\u003cbr\u003e Full Set - Volumes 1-4 \u003cp\u003eThe mandalas and patterns are all derived from these original drawings, plus a few more that didn't make it into this book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book also contains bonus pages with 12 Christmas gift tags and 16 drawings that can be used as cards. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of these designs are available in a pdf download for 4-1\/4x5-1\/2'\" card size at my Etsy store, in case you'd like to use these images as your personal Christmas cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/b\u003e Originally available as a pdf in my Etsy shop, some of the images have been updated or enhanced.

In general, it is a microcosmic representation of the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The mandala is used to help focus attention on spiritual guidance, and for mindful practices such as meditation. Most mandalas, especially today, are circular in design. The circle has long been a spiritual symbol of wholeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But the use of mandalas isn't just spiritual. Therapists as far back as Carl Jung have often used mandalas with their patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For the past 30 years I have used mandalas in my watercolor and silk paintings, as well as my glass jewelry fabrication, my cloth fabric dying, and the quilts I design and construct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Psychologists claim that coloring is the next best thing to meditation. I find mandalas are nearly as therapeutic to create as they are to color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Pick up your coloring book today and reconnect to your own internal universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Printed Books in my Mandala series include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Heart 2 Heart\u003cbr\u003e - Star Gazing\u003cbr\u003e - FloraBunda\u003cbr\u003e - Round \u0026amp; Round\u003cbr\u003e - Square Roots\u003cbr\u003e - Sampler Pack\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Mandala series is also available in 5.25x8\" Mini - Pocket Sized Take-Along Books, and card sets for you to color and send, or gift to your favorite colorist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Christmas Stockings and Gifts Coloring pages, Adult Coloring Pages, Coloring page for adults, Grown up colouring page\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie Darden, Magical Design Studios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541289633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541289635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.16d","brand":"Katie Darden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372516856063,"sku":"9781541289635","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98d372aa-9da1-4df4-9cd6-ad77c620b05c.jpg?v=1732726164","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/santa-season-stuffed-stockings-katie-darden-9781541289635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
