Flower Mandalas: A Practice of Gratitude and Centering

Find a centered moment of stillness and reflection. Flower Mandalas showcases more than 100 mesmerizing designs using natural materials. 

Artist Kathy Klein deconstructs flowers and uses individual petals, leaves, and other natural materials to create mandalas with vibrant contrasts, textures, and shades of color. She also gives a tutorial on mandala-making, which offers insight into her creative process, and shares some of the quotes that inspire her work. Mandalas have been used for centuries as a meditative practice and are often created out of sand to remind us of life’s impermanence. The word mandala itself is Sanskrit and simply means “circle,” but it also represents the interconnectedness of all life and reminds us of our relationship to each other and to the universe.
