THE EIGHT DESIGNS:

back cover

For the “Belles”mandala, I created my own floral design with a luscious topical southern look to them. Each 'bell' comes up out of another.

I created the "Calla Lily" mandala as a personalized mandala for my husband. From a distance, the design looks more like a star. When you look more closely, you see the soft gentle calla lilies.

The "Fanfare" mandala reminds me of little windmills or pinwheels that people put in their gardens to add flare and/or to chase the gritters away from the garden flowers.

Like "Calla Lily", the "Flare" mandala is a personalized mandala that I created with one of my brothers in mind. The design is based on an existing flower which the name of it escapes me at the moment. When I remember it, I'll update here.

The "Nautilus" mandala reminds me of the old-fashioned water wheels that were used to generate power or grind grain.

When new fern leaves first burst into life, they start out as spirals, such as represented here in the "Scroll" mandala.

"True Warrior" looks like another structure that you could find in a Native American garden. The vertical structures would be made of wood, with some form of cloth or leather stretched over the wood.

Normally, "Tulips" have six petals, I decided to embellish it and give it 12 petals. If you ever take the time to look inside a tulip from above, this is what it looks like.
