Pretty Geranium flower mandala

Geranium with Colour boost  

This pretty flower, from the summer, is as close to being a natural mandala as you can get, with its almost perfect symmetry, concentric circles pattern and a central spot that leads your eye there.  A warming floral picture for a cold day and a perfect reminder of summer.

Tulips centres

The centres inside these tulips make naturally and perfectly imperfect mandalas.  The photos were taken back in April.  It's good to remember the beauty that spring holds, on these darkening evenings and damp chilly days! 

It's a Cracker

 

 



Mandalas with Crackers by Shastina only, The Mandala Group 2017

This year I made some Christmas crackers in miniature and in these photo mandalas, with the addition of some confetti, they went off with a bang!

I used the template from a craft magazine to make the crackers and the pretty papers are from the same place.  I printed some jokes I found on the internet for the inside and used up-cycled ribbons to tie them together.  Then all that was left to do was to add some cracker snaps to complete them and once that was done, I then found making a mandala with them was simply the obvious thing to do.

To a Colourful Christmas!

Christmas Colour Wheel  by The Mandala Group 2017

This year's mandala is something a bit different, a colour wheel with a collection of summer flowers and added Christmas cheer from multi-coloured holly leaves and yin yang berries.  Cathy, Sky Dymondz, Jojo, Jenni and Shastina all contributed to this colourful mandala.
