mandala.

Mandala simply means 'circle'. 

They are used in Buddhism and Hinduism as a spiritual focus point. 

A little while ago, I remembered we had to create our own mandala at school in year 9 or 10 that represented who we were or somewhere that made us feel safe. 

So, when my life got a little crazy, I decided to start making some more to help me focus and calm down. 

I used the same shapes in many different ways and came up with a few that are now stuck up on my wall. 

Initially, they began in black and white, but I've dabbled in some watercolours too, and am in the process of a large one that will be hopefully be finished some time soon!
