N. of Make it Modern gives us a wonderful example of mixing symmetry and asymmetry to create this warm and cozy mustard-colored two-sided quilt entitled “Modern Meadow” (you’ll need to visit her blog site to see the other side 🙂 )
In this close up view we can see the “endless” circles she’s stitched throughout the entire quilt. I find that the contrasts she uses with dark and light fabrics within the circle make it more interesting and dramatic than if it had all been matchy-matchy.
“How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.”

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?
