The loving-kindness Buddha for Valentines you kinda and kindred soul.

Maybe I should make photos of my traditional mandala calendar that I changed into a perpetual calendar and PM you the links (if you're interested, that is ^.^)

I presume you know many of the shown details and such

I would love to see those photos of the mandala calendar! Please send me the links if you decide to post them.

Um ... dunno if I can post them here. It's a bit funny with the copyright. Each Mandala says "(c) Tibet Image Bank" whatever that shall be O_o and the calendar itself says all imaged (c) publisher.

But photobucket will do, too, or not?

This version is better:

Photo
bucket

Now uploading the images on my laptop.
I cannot connect the camera on my PC. Slackware Linux tells me a new device is connected, but that device gets no drive name, so you cannot mount it if you get what I mean. Connection refused.

I do have a running XP in a virtual box (emulator similar to VMWare, but it's free) but am too lazy to try it there with installing the software.
I take the camera back to the shop tomorrow anyway or sell it to a friend for the same money I paid (I bought it just 1 1/2 weeks prior and so can give it back in that 2 weeks space we often can do in most shops in Germany, but not all. It's up to the shops, of course.) ... for him the camera will be quite OK, but I am a bit hard to please when it comes to a camera. [/rant]

Bummer about the camera issues. Hope you are able to get it resolved.

Yes, I have a labtop that can read SD cards. Already copied it to the PC, cut and turned in GIMP, now only uploading. But Photobucket refuses the images since it doesn't know JPG files, just jpg files *facekeyboarghasmaskl*

Yes, I am indeed serious, but I use Linux and Firefox. Might be that this don't happen when you use plain ol Windos ...

OK, managed it finally...

I sent you the links via note, 'K.

Yay! I have no idea how you include such intricate details on the cloth and the jewelry in these pictures, but it's really impressive. The lions at the bottom glancing up are really cool too - I want one.

JewelOfSong In reply to Ech0plex [2009-02-16 14:59:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm able to include those details by zooming in and spending a lot of time creating little patterns on the clothes.

I love the snow lions on throne too. Hmm... I think I might draw one by himself. *adds to my to do list*

before this I mean. I've obviously seen them in art *now*.

Ech0plex In reply to JewelOfSong [2009-02-16 15:41:56 +0000 UTC]

I've never actually seen a snow lion before. In art I mean, not in real life. (I see PLENTY in real life. unicorns too.)

Well that's a lie, I've seen them in sculpture, but not in anything like this. Where did you come across them? I admit I'm not too familiar with Buddhist art, do they appear regularly?

JewelOfSong In reply to Ech0plex [2009-02-16 16:27:16 +0000 UTC]



I mostly have seen them as sculptures as well, but I do see them on Buddhas' thrones.
