The feeling.
As though the prayer:
Has already been answered. ~Gregg Braden.

Love the composition, dear Alison! The pink colored petals add even more energy to the art work! Cheers, sweetie!
Thanks so much Isabel.
The Seed of Life is such a harmonious design to base a mandala on. Lovely to work with. 🦋
Indeed, my dear Alison. Sorry for the late reply... Cheers, sweetie!
This one is so beautiful, Ally! If I cross my eyes to the point where it all gets a bit blurry, I'd say that this arrangement looks like a delicious cake! :P
Thanks so much Daniel.
Can see what you mean. Interesting. My paternal grandmother was a cook and cake decorator extraordinaire. Maybe I missed my true vocation that sometimes I feel, I'm still trying to find? 🦋
Haha, that was funny, Ally :))
On my mother's side of the family are artists dating back to the 15th century. Never thought of it before, but maybe I've been given the 'gift of decoration' from my grandmother. 🙏
Wow, it's impressive that you can trace your family tree all the way back to the 15th century! Where does your family originate from?
I love geometry, and I'm a little confused. In the last, outer circle the arrangement of violet flowers is mysterious?It is my first association on a rosette in architecture. The composition is very beautiful and fluttering, @allyinspirit. White stones enrich the whole picture. Beautiful, magical!
Thanks so much @zoricatech.
The Seed of Life and Flower of Life design is a very old symbol and has been incorporated into the decoration of architecture in many different cultures and traditions.
I've always been drawn to it, but only thought about including it in my own artwork after it came to me in a dream which I described in: The Crimson Seed of Life #1. 🦋
I've used the same white stones in numerous ephemeral pieces. Just love them for their magic.
The deep purple flowers are individual flowers from a branch of a Jacaranda tree. Jacarandas grow incredibly well in Sydney ~ Always a beautiful sign that Spring has come.
The tan elements are the seed pods of the Jacaranda and the small blue flowers are individual hydrangea flowers.
Oh! What a gorgeous mandala! It has brightened my day. Thank you. :)
I love to present images that will uplift the human spirit. To know that this image has brightened your day ~ Has brightened my day now too. Thanks so much Katrina. 🦋
Thanks so much @pixresteemer.
I love @ewkaw's image of natural lace and @luigi-the-gnome's restaurant in the Daily Spotlight for Feb 6. 🦋
Wonderful design:))
Thanks so much Maya. The Seed of Life is such a simple design to base imagery upon and I've really been enjoying working with it in this way.
Nice art and good photography :) @allyinspirit
Thanks Albert. 🦋

Thanks @mysassy. 🦋
