Peace Mandala

stained glass, vitreous tile, Italian millefiori, ceramic tile, tinted grout
12” x 36”
This was the first in a series of mosaic mandalas inspired by meditation. I have found that taking a break during the day to close my eyes and breathe deeply is a wonderful way to refresh myself. I visualize myself following the flow in the mandala, concentrating on the word “peace”. Often, during these brief meditations, inspiration comes to me, whether solving a design issue I’ve been struggling with on a current project, or ideas for new projects. Perhaps, by viewing my mosaic mandalas, other people might experience these same benefits.
