Colouring with Cats #7 ~ Getting Your OM on with Mandalas on Mondays!

Monday greetings chillaxed chums

Mew know what time it is....

It's time to get your OM on, so let's begin the week on a happy and calm vibe to get those Zen Harmonies happening fur a stress-free and uber tranquil time till the weekend arrives.

We'll start with our little breathing exercise, purrlease take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Let all the frustrations of:

Not enough fresh prawns in the fridge, your fursibs stole your favourite bed, and no where near enough sun puddles... let it go... let it all go... surrender it all like a five day old dead mouse and bury it in the garden... just let go and breathe... and say OMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

And mew can see Smoochie is so in the OM zone right now with his daily purractice of kitty yoga, and has taken his Zen Harmonies to a transcendental state of kitty nirvana - respect Smooch [Purrsonally I think he's been at Humphrey's nip-pipe! MOL]

We can bet a bag of primo catnip that mew're smiling right now and are feeling so much more relaxed...

If mew have missed any of the previous mandala's and feel the need to colour, here's the links:

Mandala #1  Mandala #2  Mandala #3  Mandala #4  Mandala #5  Mandala #6

All the mandala's featured are designed and made by us, unless otherwise stated.

So without further adieu here's this weeks Cat Mandala: Modelled on a rear of view of Amber aka Boosie [but we didn't actually say that aloud, and not that we're saying she's a bit chubby, just solidly built!]  FYI this is the P.A.'s furry furst attempt at a completely freehand image and she hasn't actually drawn anything in eons, so purrlease bear with us until her skills develop further, or maybe not! MOL

Just right click the image to save and print it...

Here's the P.A.'s finished picture.... which we don't think it looks too shabby all things considered, but then we are her harshest critics.

Coloured using metallic and glitter gel pens, and yes aftur six weeks we finally got around to splashing out and buying the P.A. 120 gel pens, so that should keep her happy fur a while! MOL

The P.A. did a little video to show mew the sparkle, if mew put the sound on mew can hear me directing her and me shaking my head in dismay [my bell jingle jangling] at her sadly lacking freehand video skills. [Note to self: buy her a tripod, like asap! MOL]

Monday greetings chillaxed chums

We know that mew know what time it is... MOL

Furstly, sorry we're a little late posting this and many apologies fur not visiting your blogs offur the weekend, the interwebs service has been rather erratic and non-functioning more often than not.  Hopefully we'll get to catch up in the next day or so and find out what wunderpurr things mew've all been up to, in the meantime...

It's time to get your OM on, so let's start today on a beautiful and colourful note to get those Zen Harmonies happening fur a calm, happy and mindful week ahead.

Breathe in

Breathe out

Let all the frustrations of:

Not enough zzzz's, too little treats and no where near enough pampering... let it go... let it all go... surrender it all like four day old tuna and toss it into the garbage... just let go and breathe... and say OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

And as mew can see I've so got my OM on right now, my Zen Harmonies are at their zenith and I'm feeling truly and utterly pawesome... in fact I'm so chilled that a zombie kitty could be shuffling towards me right now, paws outstretched asking fur brains and all I'd want to do is pat it gently on the head and say, 'Effurythings going to be ok little zombie dude, don't mew be wurrying yourself about anything!' MOL 

We bet mew feel better already, and can almost feel your smile!

Colouring with Cats ~ Getting Your OM on with Mandalas on Mondays!

Monday greetings pawesome pals

We're here today with Mandalas on Monday to start your week on the right note.  Yesterday mew may remember that we mentioned how stressed Smooch was with his little purroblem, and that got us to thinking, well if Smooch is stressed we'd better take a peek at the P.A. as she's the one that has to do effurything.  So we did a 24 hour assessment of her and came to the conclusion that her stress levels were rather high and that she needed to find her own Zen Harmonies, which resulted in me devising a furry cunning distraction fur her in a pleasant and fun manner without her even being aware that she was being treated fur her over-wurked mind and supurr tiredness.

This resulted in some rather high-tech research on my part which led to the discovery of mandalas, and then onto designing mandalas that the P.A. could colour in; in her spare, spare, spare time! MOL

Well she is quite partial to being a bit arty-farty on occasion, so I thought this was the purrfect antidote to her stressful malaise - aren't I thoughtful?  So I went into the craft room and found her colouring pencils and presented her with this:  

The Bee Fabulous Mandala

Appurrently colouring de-stresses the mind and produces all those magical feel good vibes, so it's just purrfect. 

If mew find that your peep is feeling a bit tense as it's Monday again and the grind begins fur the week ahead, we suggest mew right click the image and print it off, present it to your peep with a few coloured pens, pencils, chalk, felt-tips or markers and tell them to take five, chill and do some colouring with cats.  They will thank mew fur it with mucho extra cuddles, catnip and treats, we're certain they will when they realise how good they feel and it's all because of mew! MOL

Here's the P.A.'s finished version:

[She used Caran D'Ache Prismalo II pencils & Derwent Metallic pencils] 

She said and I quote, "Basil that was awesome fun, how ever did you come up with that?"

I just smiled and purred loudly, knowing my wurk fur the day was done.
