This is my world ~ mandalas ~ writing ~ story ~ design
each one, a way to connect to self and others.
I love working with my hands, and inspiring others to slow down and do the same.
My passions are creating mandalas, one at a time, by hand.
From there I have created mandala meditation decks to offer support to our lives in a positive way, every single day.
And something relatively new to my mix is a small book publisher venture called: house of appleton, which has quite the story behind it.
There is much to explore here. I hope you have a good time!
my own shop
A dream that didn’t seem to go away … my own shop … filled with things I’ve created. I knew I didn’t have the energy or resources to start a bricks and mortar shop, so I decided to create one here … with the idea of connecting to my community as if they were walking in the door!
mandalas
I create mandalas on paper, board and furniture. And there is a mandala meditation deck. What started as a personal practice, became something deeper. They needed to be shared. Their sense of calm and groundedness is a gift I can give to the world. It is a priviledge to do this work.
house of appleton
In honour of my publisher grandfather F.F. Appleton, I offer a micro version of book publishing. Currently in its early stages, I am excited to see where this takes me.
To this venture I bring a passion for books, a wealth of design experience, and the desire to rid the world of mediocre book design!
