For many weeks now, I have been secretly creating black and white fractal mandalas, with the intention of compiling them all and self-publishing a book on Amazon. I'm going to show off a few examples here.
I'm really, really excited about this! =) It has been hard to hold it all back from you guys.
“Mandala simply means “center and surroundings”. That is what we see in a mandala – a circle that contains a square…The practice of a mandala is simply to place ourselves in the middle of it and learn to relate with the social structure and atmosphere around us as a sacred environment."
-- Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
My first question to you all is, what was your first reaction when you saw the mandala above, and now see the mandala below? What did you think? How did you feel? I ask because your answers will help me in future creations.
And my second question is, would you be willing to pay for a colouring book with 60 of these mandalas, and how much would you be willing to pay? This is my first time I am trying anything like this, so I'm doing my homework, here and elsewhere ;)
Proof of work:
Also, as usual, here is a screenshot proving that I am not stealing this work from anyone:
And finally, here are a few more samples... ;) ... I've done over 30 of them and I'm still deciding how many I'll have in the first book (yep, I want to do a second one! There is SO much variety in the formulae combinations!) :
So yes, please do let me know what you think. I know I'm a bit late for the Adult Colouring Book craze, but I think I may be on to something here because I've never seen any mandala designs quite like mine.
Just a reminder...: All my Monday Mandala designs and other artwork are for sale. See Mandelsage.com for details ;) ... And I am open to doing commissions too!

Before using bidbots, consider that they are bad for the long-term health of the Steemit ecosystem, and that many manual curators will not consider posts using bidbots for curation. Instead, try joining communities, engaging authentically, and earning more and more organic votes over time =) ...
