This mandala worked with the broken (but mending) hearts theme, as well as the flowing water and growing plants. The doors on the corners are visions into the blue skies of the future.
This group wanted to show peaceful living side-by-side, so the outer part of the mandala features an Israeli girl and a Palestinian girl together in a neighborhood with homes, trees, and water. The inner circle has mosques, churches, and symbols for synagogues, and the outer corners have the books of the Abrahamic faith traditions.
Here's a detail of this mandala--the butterflies aren't as visible on a large scale!
This one I worked on! We have hearts mending as they come to the center, the Inner Light flowing out, and small drops that could be tears or leaves showing transformation. There's also large figures leading to smaller ones--ourselves or our children in the future--and bright pink dancing figures of sheer joy.
Traveling with this mandala meant the beautiful flame in the center was somewhat crumpled by the time I got it home. But the glowing, mended hearts and the fire and water were untouched.
Here the transformation took place from an inner light to blue streams, and hearts that were hopeful but still wept blood. This is probably the boldest and most dynamic of the lot--and its makers were eager to see it completed!
