This mandala was loosely based on Metatrons Cube from Sacred Geometry. Sacred Geometry is a very interesting topic as far as Mandalas go. There is way too much information for me to include in a single post, but that may be something I explore more in the future.
This mandala, specifically, was designed after Metatrons Cube, which is one of the vast designs within Sacred Geometry. Because it wasn’t perfectly measured out in the way it should be, I decided to name this one Sacred Mandala, because it is part of the Sacred Geometry shapes. It was one of my first attempts to create something from these shapes I have learned to love.
The fascinating thing about this is, I was drawing Sacred Geometry shapes before I knew that it was called that. I think it has to do with my sensitivity to the universe. I am naturally attracted to the mathematics created by our universe.

Sacred Geometry – Seeds of Life
Sacred Geometry. This is something I just recently came across. I thought it would be something I could use to give me some awesome shapes for my mandalas.
This one is called Flower of Life. It is created using a sequence of circles, branching out from a center point. It is also known as “seed of life”. Starting on the center designs was interesting. I put a lot of thought into how I wanted each flower to be intertwined, but I also wanted the center flower to be slightly different from the outer ones.
Branching out from the flowers forced me to use some designs I haven’t ever used. It also allowed me to tweak designs I have used in the past. Choosing the right designs was something I didn’t take lightly. I wanted to keep the flower petals around the outer circle. I wanted to bring the name to life.
The final project is so visually stimulating that I was, maybe more proud than I’ve been with a project. It was relaxing and easy to complete once I figured out exactly which designs I was going to use.
This is a closer look at some of the details that you might miss by looking at the picture as a whole
Overall, I am very pleased with how this turned out. I used Staedtler triplus fineliner for the whole project. The completed Mandala is about 14″×14″. I would love to know what you think about this piece. Let me know in the comments below!
