working with shapes

I've been working with the 3 shapes, circle, square and cross. I'm finding it interesting to be "structured" in this way. Staying within some limits rather than being spontaneous.
I chose a card from John Greer's Sacred Geometry deck. The Right Triangle.

I proceeded to create a mandala using just this shape. Every one is a right triangle except around the edges of the circle.

Discipline. Focus. Structure.

It's not my style really... but I think it helped me.

I felt good doing this after awhile. After it was colored in, I didn't really like it, mostly because I could not choose between two different approached and flip-flopped between mirroring and being sequencial.

My sponanteous side needed a part in this and did the patterning and then I liked it much better.

Doing this mandala work has gotten me to go deeper within myself.

It's also addictive :-)
