Place cards sets

Mandalas are ancient symbols of calm healing energy which inspire meditation and contemplation. The intricate nature of the patterns allows the mind to become lost in contemplation of the circular wholeness of infinity. No two designs are the same. Each is unique and perfectly formed.

I have been commissioned to paint mandalas on several occassions, once for a local yoga school and more recently as decorative place name cards. The connection of this symbol with peace means that it is ideal in a dinner setting. This is a selection of the more than 30 place cards I made for a Burns Night dinner in the colours purple and green. The colour scheme can be adjusted to suit. The yoga collective asked for a blue and silver colour scheme.

The overall design is painted in acrylic paint and the silver elements are done in encaustic wax with the stylus.
