💚 Drawing mandalas helped me through depression & anxiety, now I share those tools with you
💚 Workshops for mindfulness & relaxation
💚 Wall Art | Commissions

As someone who has to manage my mental health, I know just how important it is to find time to look after your wellbeing. Drawing is one of my self care practises and I love that I can use it to (hopefully) encourage & inspire yours.

I don't like finishing mandalas.

I love not knowing what the final piece will look like as what I draw depends on my mood and I usually draw over several sittings.
I've been leaning into hand drawing as a tool again and I'm loving the process, sitting with my emotions, feeling and processing them in a way that is safe for me.
The messy(ish) background was a way to challenge my inner perfectionist and I like how it turned out.

That's why I don't like finishing a piece, because as cliche as it sounds, it really is the process that is the best/theraputic.

However, a finished mandala does mean you get to start the process all again ✨️

Greeting Cards ✨️

I've never thought to make cards but when I was approached by Sukhina to see if I would like to, it just felt right.

I was honoured that she wanted my work as cards and I loved that she was looking for meaningful, thoughtful cards that could be kept on display all year round.

Collaborating with her was easy, inspiring and sparked my creative flow. 💖

They are available to buy now via

Text inside is Sukhina's beautiful wishes ✨️

The Evil Eye 🧿
An ancient symbol dating back thousands of years to ancient Greece and Rome and has symbolism in many cultures across the globe.
It's believed to bring good luck and provide protection from any negative emotions or bad wishes (from others).

I started this piece last year but for several reasons never finished it, recently I felt inspired and completed it in one sitting ✨️

I love the blues, it reminds me of a past holiday to Santorini and I like the comfort the symbol provides ✨️

Reminder, shine so bright so you blind the haters/bad wishes ✨️🧿

Wedding Stationary 👰🤵‍♂💍

It's been a while since I posted on the grid and if you follow my stories you will have seen I've been away as my older sister got married!

I had the honour of being asked to create her invites and I loved working on them so wanted to share them with you ❤️

A traditonal hindu invitation consists of several inserts but my sister wanted something different, especially as she only needed invites for one day.
We kept all the vital information (lord ganesh, family names and format) the rest was ours to play around with. The card choice worked out perfectly, that shimmer 😍

Peacocks were the inspiration, it also matched her outfit, her favourite colour. 💙

I then created the additional signs and favours - what do you think?

Whilst I currently have no plans to specialise in stationary, I love creating personalised items. It's always been my favourite part, even back when I designed clothes.
I love making someones vision a reality. Personalised doesn't have to be complex or over the top, it's having it, just the way you want it..💖

If you'd ever like to work with me on any item, either for a personal gift or business order then please just get in touch.

I've had the pleasure of creating custom wall art, postcards and gift cards for small businesses and it brings me the most joy 💚

New Vs Old - Day 29

I have some unfinshed pieces that aren't ready to share just yet, so I thought I'd share my yin yang and lotus flower designs as my new vs old.

The original large scale prints (pic 3&4) were created for one of my sisters and it was doing these that sparked the idea that I could share my work with others 💖

At the end of last year I decided to create a version of them to sell, you might not see much of a difference but I certainly could when it came to designing them, I'd learnt so much more of Adobe Illustrator!

Do you have a favourite out of the yin yang or lotus? Let me know below!

Available in A5 and as A6 postcards

Product Range & Milestone - Day 23 & 24

I don't think I have a single piece that is my favourite, do you?!

The monochrome (3rd slide) has the most sales and gets the most comments but each of my pieces reminds me more of how I felt at the time that I created it or what technique I learnt with that piece.

This whole process is a milestone for me, I know I say it often but I really can't explain how I was feeling this time last year - just a note to never under estimate your own power, the storm always passes and the sun will shine again 💖

Materials
Day 21

When it comes to packaging I do my best to not use too much & be as eco friendly as possible. The cellophane bags & stickers are biodegradable, and the envelope is recyable along with my thank you card and the stripe paper bags I use at stalls.

That's just the packaging.

When it comes to the actual paper used for the prints, that's a whole different ball game. Did you know the paper is key to the end print result?

I've tried and tested several, heavy weight card, archival paper, semi satin, matte - it all makes a difference to the final product!

I currently use a mid weight matte photocard as I think it has the perfect finish for my style.
I'm yet to find a good archival quality though!

I generally print to order and outsource large scale prints & most full colour prints, again that's a whole other process which I'll save for another time!

If you ever enquire for a large scale commission or small business cards/token cards, then printing options is just one of the things we'd discuss 😊

💖 NEW PRODUCT 💖
Affirmation Love Heart Print

I've been wanting to create a new affirmation print for awhile and with Mother's Day coming up on Sunday 27th March I felt inspired and wanted to create something in time for it.

In this instance, I think the affirmations are a thoughtful way of telling someone what they mean to you, especially if you find it difficult to say it in person, a birthday or special occasion is the perfect chance.

I feel like in Indian culture this rings true as feelings aren't often openly said, so this is the perfect way! 💖

It's not my usual style so I felt unsure at first, but I'm really happy with it and I would love to know what you think!

I'll have a Mum version of this at the .markets this weekend
But this isn't just for Mum's, it can be for any loved one because....

It can be Personalised as that's what I love the best, you can amend:

💫 Name or Relation in the Heart (Indian Relations too)
💫 Affirmations
💫 Bottom Phrase

💫 Colours can also be changed ( this does occur an additional fee)

💫 Best Decision 💫
Day 8 of

Mine is quite simply that I started. I’ve noticed a few other makers say the same and I understand why.

I wasn’t fully ready or in the best mental space when I opened and to be honest, if I waited until I was, I may still be waiting.

There is never the perfect moment to start, but starting is how you learn, grow and develop. This brand has given me a purpose and provided a focus in challenging times. I’ve connected and learnt from others who are like minded and had discussions around mental health that I would never have had otherwise. Most importantly, I’ve learnt so much about myself.

If you’re waiting to take action on something, then there is no time like the present to go for it 💚

🌙 This Moon inspired print was created months before I decided to sell my artwork and when trying to decide on a brand name I was struggling to find something that I liked. Then one day I saw this and it just worked and made total sense - my love for the moon & what it represents all tied in 💖

Brand Values - Day 2

I want my work & story to help others.
My aim is to:
💫 Encourage, empower and inspire you to put yourself first

💫 Promote Self-Care for everyone - having a brain means you have mental health to maintain

💫 Help reduce the stigma around mental health, especially in the South Asian community

I believe I can do more to help so I am.
📣 Going forwards 10% of all my profits will go to a mental health charity.
The first charity I have chosen is who help support & empower 16-24 year olds. (swipe to see details)

We’re currently in a mental health crisis with cases in youth at the highest recorded level.
I believe we struggle as adults because we lack the tools & support growing up, it's certainly the case for me, hence this being my first charity to support. I'm so glad the understanding, support and awareness is increasing but there is still work to be done.

Rather than changing the charity quarterly or annually, once I hit a certain amount, I’ll donate. I’m sharing so there is full transparency when/if you choose to buy my work 💚

Thank You for reading & for your support as without you I wouldn't be able to do this 🙏🏿💖

Me & My Work

I’ve seen people take part in the last couple of years so love the fact I can take part this year! I’ll be using some of the prompts throughout the month.

I know a few of you are new to this page so Hi I’m Hina, I started Mandalas By The Moon in 2021 whilst on a mental health career break.
I never dreamed I would do this, but drawing had such a positive impact on my mental health that I decided to share it with you. I hope to encourage you to take time out for self-care. (I’ll explain just how my work can support your self-care practise in a future post)

I create all my designs digitally on Adobe Illustrator and depending on the product, either print on demand or outsource the printing. I create wall art, positive affirmations, postcards and take on custom designs, all from a lovely little corner of my bedroom. You can order via Etsy, DM or see me in person at local craft fairs (I have one coming up later this month!)

My range is slowly growing as I prefer to design with intent rather than for the sake of it .
If you have any questions then let me know,
Thanks for reading and for joining me on this journey 😊
