At first glance this may seem like an odd choice for the Mandala of the Day. However upon closer inspection you’ll notice why I chose it. Jane Perkins, an artist in found things (her words), re-created Vermeer’s most beautiful painting, Girl with a Pearl Earring, into this stunning piece of art using mostly round buttons and other round found items.

58 – Notre Dame Rose Window Mandala
Some of the grandest mandalas can be found in the stained glass rose windows of churches and cathedrals. This one for today’s MotD is particularly spectacular: the south window at Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral.
57 – Rigoni Tattoo Mandala
Rather than being a straight-forward line drawing, this tattoo by Australian artist, Chris Rigoni, uses thousands of dots and a bit of color to create this compelling mandala.
56 – Crochet Mandala
How cool is this! A crocheted mandala by Marinke that looks like a stained glass window. I’ve been crocheting doilies for years using the typical thin white thread. Marinke has taken it to a whole new level, using a larger weight yarn, bold colors AND using overstitching. Just beautiful!
55 – Jackfruit Mandala
Up until February 7, 2015, I had yet to experience jackfruit. While participating in the Conscious Life Expo, in L.A. that fateful day, one of the food vendors offered vegetarian food. I was about to pass on them because I have trouble digesting tofu…thinking that that was the main ingredient for their Indian dish. Wrong! They use jackfruit. After a little bit of hesitancy, I opted to try it. Wow! Loved it!
