I drew this mandala the first week in my new home, the small apartment with beautiful view out the window. I simply took one color and started to draw anything, I didn't know what. At first I drew a spiral in the middle - it's a symbol of home, purple is color of heartiness and spirituality (spiral - spirituality, nice, it wasn't a plan!). Around that spiral I drew something like small chambers, places where I can plant my dreams, pleasures, love. Then I encase it into some green husk, which together with spiral represent seed of our good, harmony and everything nice. The seed sprouds small shoots and everything grows from the center of the spiral. Green is color of equilibrium, nature, peace and hope. Then there is an energy and fire - orange and red (orange color is also creativity, red is love), which strength is tempered by cold water, stones, wind and earth elements - blue, yellow and green. Actually there are linden leaves on the edge - small-leaved lime is our national tree and also our Celtic horoscope. Water - blue parts (it can be also tears of happiness) - is our element, we were born in Pisces zodiac. Everything together form harmony, which is the base of our home. |
