Milwaukee Mandalas

09/10/2026

It was a packed class last night at Serendipity Boutique Marketplace!

And I was able to test out my new backdrop for the first time. I’m still figuring some things out (it’s not easy to put it together especially alone 😬) but it was nice to have for the photos I could take.

While I didn’t have time to get photos of everyone, I did get all of the projects! 😍

Now to finish cutting everything for Saturday! 😳

I want to be this cozy snuggled up with a hot coffee!!! 😆

I know it will be fall sooner rather than later with the cold not too far behind. But I could really go for some sweater weather!

This one will be coming as a kit very soon! 😉

Remember that stack of paper from last week?

Here are all 24 ghosts ready for classes tomorrow and Saturday!! 👻 📖

Still 300 sheets of paper 😅

It’s time for the Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee 2026, and I would LOVE to see Milwaukee Mandalas make it to the finalist round!

I’m asking you to nominate Milwaukee Mandalas for:

✨ 𝙇𝙊𝘾𝘼𝙇 𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙀𝙋𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙐𝙍 ✨

I’m a small, locally owned business, and over the past five years Milwaukee Mandalas has grown from a creative idea into something so much bigger than I ever expected.

I design and create layered paper artwork, put together DIY kits, teach workshops, work with local shops, and somehow keep all of the behind-the-scenes pieces moving as a small business. ❤️

Getting recognized as a Best of Milwaukee finalist would be such an incredible milestone for me and for this little business I've worked so hard to build.

🎃 𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡! 🎃

October is full of spooky, seasonal, and beautiful designs—and registration is officially open! 🖤🍂

𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝! I’ve simplified the registration process so everything can be done in one easy step:

✨ Choose your class date
✨ Choose your project
✨ Add any color changes or notes
✨ Then you’ll be taken directly to payment

That’s it! No separate forms to fill out or steps to keep track of.

I’m going to try this new process for October and see how it goes. My hope is that streamlining registration will save me some behind-the-scenes time so I can keep offering more classes, more designs, and more creative opportunities for you! 💜

Take a look at the October designs and find your favorite!

My spot at Serendipity Boutique Marketplace has a whole new look!! 👀

I utilized a shelf that I’ve had in storage to organize my kits into one spot and separate them from the finished art.

I wasn’t sure how it would work…but I’m loving how it looks!

A special thanks to all of my boys for helping me make the transformation! 🥰😘

NEW FALL DESIGNS!!

I love the vibes of this trio - the coordinating colors of the oranges and yellows, the intricate vine work, and how you can practically feel fall (anyone else ready for sweater weather? 🙋‍♀️)

Which one is your favorite?

It never ceases to amaze me how different something can look by changing just one color!! 😍

I love all of them but I’m leaning slight more to the black than the brown and blue.

Do you have a fav?

Yay or nay - an option for October classes?

I snuck this new design into Serendipity Boutique Marketplace earlier today. And I’m thinking that it should be an option for October but I wanted to see what everyone thought!
