Product Description

Product Description
We think of it as a Zen Etch-a-Sketch. With only water and a brush, imagination is used to paint the surface. As the water evaporates, the image fades, generating new perspectives on creative endeavors. The Buddha Board allows you to live for the moment. Perfect for entertaining the child in all of us. Buddha Board is environmentally friendly and will last for years with proper care. Allow yourself to let go and not be concerned with each outcome - live for the moment and enjoy! As the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buddha Board ~ very Zen. :), September 24, 2007

A unique product which accomplishes precisely what it was intended for: ~ create and then let go. Watching your creative work gently fade away as it evaporates keeps you living in the moment, for sure. I haven't yet mastered painting with water (can anyone?), but it's fun to try. I keep the Buddha Board in my office and co-workers stop by to release their creative energy. The most amusing drawing was a Chesire Cat, who disappeared just like in Alice's Wonderland :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Live in the Moment, July 9, 2007

we bought these for the store I work at, and I love 'em. You simply dip the brush in water and paint on the surface. There is also a paper on the left of the mini board if you want to write a card.

In a moment your art creation appears, you enjoy it, and then three to five minutes later, it disappears and you create a new masterpiece. Also, the paper last for a while.

very Zen, in the moment, relaxing and no pressure to be artist of the year--just fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Environmentally Friendly Creativity Tool, August 16, 2008

By	Lauralibby - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw the Buddha Board at a hotel in Rhode Island and I thought it was the coolest thing. The artist dips a paintbrush into water and draws on the ceramic board. The image lasts a short while and then evaporates. Take a photo if you want to keep the image.

How better to help save the environment as a creative artist? The only drawback would be that the board is fragile and easy to chip. A great creative instrument.
