The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean "circle." These repetitive patterns are found in nature (biology, geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy), art, architecture and are used in many religious traditions. Creating mandalas is a popular form of art therapy as well. I find them to be a soothing & relaxing form of creativity. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

Using the same techniques as the mandalas above, I created these snowflake images on my greeting cards for Christmas 2009.
