Mandalas

Roughed translated to 'circle' from Sanskrit, a mandela is a circular design. Like fractals, they can be found in nature and created by humans or computers.

The attached link is to an informative web page on mandalas. What they are, a pdf for coloring one, and a way to submit your creations are all there. Also, you can see other submitted work!

I discovered these while reading up on art therapy. I feel that making mandalas would be both fun and soothing. Now that I have watercolors, I can make especially vivid ones.

A satellite image was used to create this one.

I may share what I come up with on here.
