Chakras, bookmark design

After completing the chakra series of treescape paintings I realized these paintings were more inspirational seen as a group rather than individual works. Each painting was my way of learning about the different energy sources within the human body; together they represent a complete, healthier understanding. I made a small reminder to carry with me and designed a 9" x 3" bookmark. I am offering these for sale on Etsy, thanks to the encouragement from friend and fellow blogger, Eva.

    What good idea. Do you offer them for sale online, such as Etsy? I would buy one, really :O)

      Eva, I just listed this on Etsy! I did up the cost to $3 in order to cover small fees I will incur if I do sell and ship. I may even setup more small work for sale on Etsy, something I have thought about for months but never actually did, until now.

    Great idea, Robin and Eva. A question about chakras--do they relate to body parts? I.E., Crown equals head and Root equals feet? Probably a dumb question but I recall seeing charts someplace.

      yes, the chakras are completely related to body parts, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. I painted an outline to help me remember -
