Mandalas & Patterns

Your brain might feel like a browser with fifty tabs open sometimes. A symmetrical lotus or a repeating honeycomb pattern acts like a refresh button for a busy mind. There is no right way to do this. You do not have to worry about what color a tree is supposed to be because these shapes do not exist in the woods. They exist in that quiet space between your ears.

Designs here range from chunky and bold shapes perfect for a quick ten-minute break to dense webs of lines that look like a spiderweb made of geometric lace or a kaleidoscope of shards. Scratch-scratch-scratch goes the pencil as you fill in a tiny tessellating hexagon. By the time you reach the outer edge, the rest of the world feels further away. It is just you, the ink, and a very steady hand.
