Hi @natureofbeing!!! It turns out that I was working on a piece about mosaics and I have just posted it and included this post in it with a shout out to you.
I think your mandala is a gorgeous piece and the amount of work that goes into them is unfathomable, unless you have produced one yourself. Well done!!! :)
thanks so much! Yes mosaic is a huge amount of work yantras or otherwise but I've never found any of it to be "grunt work" and have stuck with it for close to 25 years. I don't know, something about fitting life together, myself together, the world together.
I need to research the term "yantras"... as I don't understand what makes them different from mandalas. I LOVED the yantra that you showcased. The colours work so well together. :)
Thanks! Yantras are a type of mandala, and in my very first Yantras I go more deeply in to what they are: https://steemit.com/art/@natureofbeing/the-mystical-yantra-meditating-with-color-line-and-shape
Wow! This is completely why I am so drawn to crop circles...I get the connection on the cellular and cosmic level. Fantastic! I will never look at another mosaic the same way again...Thanks for sharing this with me.
So glad to hear it and you're most welcome!
