Rainbow Headdress Mandala [select image for larger view]Is this awesome or what! When I first saw this photo, it took me a moment to realize that rather than it hanging off a wall, this beautiful mandala is resting atop his head!
In 2009, Findout.Tumblr.com posted this photo of a Nahua Indian celebrating Santiago apostle in Puebla, Mexico.
Everything about this man’s regalia vibrates with beautiful energy…especially his headdress. The colors are just stunning. And while the outer band color choices are a repeating pattern, the inner bands of concentric circles are random…an excellent example of symmetry and asymmetry working together.
As I look at it, my left (logic) brain begins to wonder…how would you even go about making something like this? It would need to be lightweight, steady and sturdy.
Then I hear this voice in my head that says
“stop analyzing it and just bask in its beauty”
Well said.
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
