British book binder, print maker, and artist, Louisa Boyd, created this mystical watercolour painting, entitled “Flock”, on the pages of her artist book, turning it into a delightfully delicate circular sculpture.

175 – Yaybahar Mandala
Today’s awesome mandala comes from Turkey and makes amazing out-of-this-world music.
170 – Prawn Kimchi Noodle Mandala
I love the multiple representations of symmetrical and asymmetrical mandalas (food and plates) and spirals (prawns), all presented in a simple, elegant, asymmetrical way over an abstract background. While being a potential feast for the taste buds, it starts out as a feast for the eyes.
168 – Wagnalls Wheel Mandala
Artist Brian Dettmer carved out details in a set of encyclopedias and put them all together to form this delightful mandala-like piece of art. What would otherwise be an outdated set of books now becomes a visual merry-go-round of images that flash before us, giving us the world in pictures instead of words.
167 – Cycad Mandala
Now here’s someone who has learned to color outside the lines! South African Sculptor Jennifer Maestre creates these amazing three dimensional pieces using the pointed tips of color pencils.
165 – Hassan II Mandala
A former fellow Corvallis Indoor Winter Market vendor and now FB friend of mine, Michele Renee Colomb, captured this photo while visiting the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco…the 7th largest mosque in the world.
158 – Tomaselli Mandala
I first learned of collage/painter Fred Tomaselli while at our local library. Spotting a mandala image on the cover of a large art book entitled “Fred Tomaselli” caught my eye. I checked it out and checked it out. His art is vibrant and powerful…and so different from anything I had seen before. He uses a variety of traditional art media along with conventional materials…like photos, vegetation and even pills.
