Awaken your creative spirit in a delightful, inspiring way with this 11" x 8.5" PDF Mandala Coloring Book containing 8 original lighthearted asymmetry mandalas by Maureen Frank (me) while in meditation.
THE EIGHT DESIGNS:
For "Celtic" I wanted to create a more off-beat Celtic knot pattern. It almost looks like a French Horn gone seriously...or rather, sillyously...wrong.
The spiral-filled "Curly Q" mandala started as one large spiral in the middle, and the time past, little baby spirals were born.
The "Fish" mandala incorporates a very-loose M.C. Escher-like feel of fish traveling horizontally across the design. The vertical lines create the illusion that they swim behind a shear curtain.
For "I Dream of Genie" I took my pencil and doodled away on the page with one continuous line. When I finished, I looked to me like a round vase in the upper right quadrant exuding a mist into the ethers. Wanna make a wish?
Some dead vegetation in our local park inspired "Jungle". Wisps of delicate branches standing about 2 feet tall with little curved branches at the top. I just had to recreate that magical vision.
Ever wonder if "Night Crawlers" curl up in a ball when they go to sleep during the day? This mandala says they do. At night, they come out to play.
When one thinks of a grid, it's assumed that its lines all line up evenly in all directions. In a serious world they do...In the sillyously world of ”The Grid”, they only line up if they feel like it.
"Wiggle Room" started out as a bunch of wiggly vertical lines. Adding uneven horizontal lines gave it a small sense of organization. I imagine that this is what my EKG would look like after too much chocolate.
