Mandala Coloring eBook (Symmetry): Geometric

Experience the peace and joy of coloring mandalas.

I created the eight (8) original symmetry mandalas in this 11" x 8.5" PDF Mandala Coloring eBook with a geometric-styled theme, each mandala comes with its own unique message.

THE DESIGNS

• I styled the "A Maze Zing" mandala to look like a maze that goes ever inward, without it actually being a maze.
• "Crystalite" started out as a mandala design for a local festival poster competition with the theme being about microscopic nature. While it appears simple, it's one of my more complex designs where it starts out on top with a simple star trek communicator-like pattern that repeats downward by 30° at each level...like taking a stack of napkins and twisting them to make a spiral of napkins.
• "Deco" represents my relationship with my father, where I finally realized that we both wanted to same thing: for the other to be happy. It only became a problem when we tried to force our version of happiness onto the other.
• My first attempt at incorporating middle eastern geometric patterns into mandalas appears in the "Mosaic" mandala.
• For the "Sacred Geometry" mandala I used sacred geometry, or in the mathematical world, the golden ratio. The relationships to just about everything in this mandala used the golden ratio, phi, which roughly translates to 0.6.
• Starting in 2005, I decided to create a different snowflake mandala each winter/holiday season. This coloring book includes "Snowflake 2005", "Snowflake 2006", and "Snowflake 2007".

Happy Coloring!

THE PROCESS

I create my own mandala designs by first hand sketching them with pencil and paper, then using a graphics tablet and stylus, I draw the mandala into the computer. I then convert the digital images into a PDF document.

MY STORY

I began creating mandalas in early 1999 after a 10-day trip to Egypt. Through much of that region of the world patterns and symbols decorated just about every structure I visited, whether ancient, old or new. My analytical mind loved the geometry of the Islamic art and the Egyptian hieroglyphics. My heart and soul loved their elegant and symbolic beauty.

When I returned home, I began seeing patterns and symbols in everything around me, even in my dreams. I proceeded to translate these intriguing ideas into mandalas. In early 2000 I learned to use meditation as a way to access the depth of these mandalas, fully exploring their therapeutic and metaphysical natures.
