The Mandala Lady > Mandala of the Week #15: Oh Tannenbaum
This is the first of my annual winter holiday mandalas. My initial idea was to place 12 trees around the circle with their tops touching a multi-faceted star in the center and each sharing ornaments at the ends of their branches. When I completed the design, however, another image in the design appeared: in the bottom half I could see the trees, on the top half I saw an abstract representation of a choir of angels. What a special surprise and gift.
In choosing the colors for this full-color version, I paired up complementary colors: red & green, orange & blue, and yellow & purple...which covers the full spectrum of the rainbow. The ornaments were done with spiraling colors. If the bottom ornament was red, then the second ornament from the bottom on the next tree was red; and so on.
This mandala's message: Choirs of angels sing hallelujah! Let us join them in song!
