It's astounding, really. I hope as a result of this post people start making them everywhere and it SPREADS! I'm really looking forward to someone trying them and sending me a jpeg! They were very fun to make. I want to make more at Christmas. :) Imagine red roses and white gardenias in center!

These are just breathtaking. The more I look at the ones I see you have created, the more I am moved by them. Yours are truly glorious.I have seen sand mandalas, but never considered flower mandalas before. As with the dismanteling of the sand mandalas to reflect the impermanence of the world, the temporal, transient quality of the flower mandalas reminds us as you have shown that the process is as important as the finished product ( which seems to me like a prayer to the universe, one that is so beautiful one just has to smile) Warm regards, Philip Dear Kathryn!

Who'd have thought?! What a beautiful prayer---and a wonderful way to fully appreciate the natural beauty all around us by capturing some in a bowl! I especially love you penultimate effort, with the mums and maple leaves, but the squash and pepperberries is great, too! (I wish people grew pepperberries in parking lots around here!)

Your flower mandalas are works of art - I love the use of non-traditional art materials to make art, and that's just what you did. I especially enjoyed that you shared your thought process as you did these - thank you! I have always loved (and been intrigued and mystified) by mandalas.
