Awaken your creative spirit in a delightful, inspiring way with this 11" x 8.5" PDF Mandala Coloring Book containing 8 original geometric-styled symmetry mandalas by Maureen Frank while in meditation and each comes with its own message.
THE EIGHT 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".
