Met my Green Lady Mandala - the Christmas gift for my brother @rossenpavlov. It took me more than 20 hours to create.

Green Woman Mandala

Last week, I invited a friend over to draw some mandalas for fun. My cousin gifted me "The Mindful Mandala Coloring Book: Inspiring Designs for Contemplation, Meditation and Healing" and we used it as a source of inspiration .

The Green Man (left) has been on my mind lately, as he appeared in a Tarot reading, so I started out with a sketch (right) of a Green Woman.

Forgot about it for a while and some days ago I got the idea to finish it as a gift it to my brother. Two days in a row, I drew between 8-10 hours/day. It was hard work. Here is the process, in and out.

It is so cool how the image becomes alive.

Luckily, it was finished on Christmas. The book has these really cool "Directory of symbols" pages. This is what they say for the symbols used.

Acorns	Leaves	Triskele
A symbol of longevity and perseverance	Some leaves are able to grow among rocks, symbolizing a long and lasting friendship	A three-part spiral, signifying dynamism and spiritual progress

As for the Green Man - he is the son of Gaia (Mother Earth). This is my interpretation of her. The Green Man symbolizes our oneness with nature - our groundedness.

A mandala can be like a prayer to attract certain things in life. Those are the things I wish to by brother.
