Notes: Although this mandala is only black and white, the meaning to me is important. Our hands have the power to do great things- heal, create, build, anything we want to. I think the messy, but brilliant designs coming from the hands represent that power.

Date: December 2010

Country of Origin/artist:

Daniel McPheeters

Notes: I’m fond of the leaves or wings in the circle around the tree, and I also like that it looks sort of like a green flower. I like the sort of muted, wintery color palate and that the colors don’t stand out on their own.

“Featherfern Zodiac”

Date:October 2010

Country of Origin/artist:

Daniel Pheeters

Notes: I like that this particular mandala has the zodiac constellations around the center, and the fern leaves that make you think they’re feathers, hence the name, “Featherfern Zodiac”.

If you look closer, you can see the symbols as well.
