Week 27: Shine On

The overall look of this mandala reminds me of a star portal, a stargate, that is fully open, allowing us a view of a world with two suns. The vertical square tube feels like a place where you could jump into, like jumping into a worm hole.

Week 7: Garden Delight

This hyperbolic tessellation mandala features turquoise flowers and orange butterflies, with purple bodies and blue orbs on their wings; all of which help to make a garden delightful…hence the name “Garden Delight”. I used fine-point markers to color this version of Garden Delight.
