Wooden / Hand Painted Mandala



This wooden wall hanging was originally designed and painted by me with black and white acrylic paint. In Sanskrit, the word "mandala" symbolizes both the visible world around us, as well as the world we have in our own minds. 

Mandalas are also symbols for meditation, protection and healing 
- which is exactly why I made it! 

Woodurn Snowflake Ornaments

Just because the holidays are near and I really wanted to test out my new wood burner!
