Starting a new drawing: Namgyalma (Ushnisha Vijaya in Sanskrit), the deity of longevity. Buddhits thangkas are drawn using a traditional grid, which is visible in the drawing.
Description final image:
She has a white colored body, three faces and eight arms.
The central face is white, the right yellow; the left is blue and slightly wrathful. Each face has three eyes.
The first right hand holds a double dorje (Sanskrit: vajra) at the heart. The second holds a lotus on top of which sits Amitabha (the Buddha of longevity. The third holds an arrow. The fourth is in the gesture of granting generosity.
The first left hand holds a noose, the second grasps a bow. The third grants the gesture of reassurance. The last left hand makes the dhyana mudra (the hand form of meditation).

Perhaps today is not the right day to post this message but I am sure Bill would echo the sentiments for everyone.

Nice one Miguel, so much work into a bauble they would look great on our tree...!
Fred, you really do have a fabulous Zen thing going on here. Why is it that when I look at your drawings I feel like spreading my arms and taking to the sky?
