Traveling Mandalas: July 2014

Plaques

I now have 10" plaques which I have started putting into local gift & souvenir shops. They show the design nicely, and should be a popular item. I do not yet have a way of selling them online, as they are not produced on Zazzle. I will keep you posted as I arrange to do this.

Introduction

We are using this blog to show a series of 50 state mandalas featuring the symbols and iconic images of all the US states. We have started with the state of Maine, and have added Arizona, and New Hampshire. This will be a unique collection that will appeal to residents of the various states, tourists, RVers, and travelers in general. In time, we will even branch out to the Canadian provinces, Mexican states, and on from there. We will need help in design, sales, music, and more with this project as it expands; so if you are interested, let us know. Each mandala will have a supporting video with engaging graphics, explanatory text, and music.

I use Zazzle as my production house. They can put my designs on more than 70 different products including t shirts, mugs, plates, calendars, stamps, cards, bumper stickers, and posters. Go to: www.zazzle.com/robert_coyne and view my Mainely Mandalas category.

Inspiration

Each of the state mandalas will emphasize the natural beauty of the region; and celebrate the variety of scenery, wildlife, and activity offered across the country. Travel gives us an opportunity to experience both the diversity and the commonality which we share. We will eventually do longer videos as teaching tools for geography in schools. It is our intention that these designs will inspire an appreciation of what each state has to offer, and promote our working together to our common benefit.
