Mandalas for Coloring and Relaxation Joshua Sierk

This is a small collection of very personal designs. Each was crafted by hand, using compass, protractor, calculator, ruler, square, pencil, eraser and pens. I tried to represent each even and odd prime number I could, feeling the energies of angles, calculated and 'accidental' lines. Some are simple and distinct, while others curve and flow to the rhythm of pi. I chose this spiritual journey two years ago: I would draw mandalas. Here is a benchmark of my progress, with hope to inspire many people of all ages and traditions. It's not just for buddhists or zen monks. Filling up the spaces with color is a great way to enter a meditative state, to relax and retrain the mind. Namaste. - Joshua Sierk, artist & editor
