Underneath the opaque red glass, I have hidden mirror, allowing light to reflect back through the glass and sometimes surprising the viewer with an extra vibrance they weren't expecting.

Each Frame: : 9" x 16" Mandalas have long been used as a tool for meditation and relaxation. The intricate patterns and geometric shapes of mandalas have a calming effect on the mind and can help to reduce stress and anxiety. The act creating mosaic mandalas is a lovely meditative practice, allowing me to focus my thoughts and quiet my minds. Here I created two stunning half mandalas based on intricate 12 petal geometry. This captivating pattern reminds me of a sunrise with its gorgeous blend of pinks, yellows, and browns. This design is adorned with beautiful pink opals and highlighted with fire torched copper and peridot colored Czech crystals. The use of blush and gold colored mirror creates a mesmerizing sparkle that changes with the light, making it an exquisite addition to any space. The use of mirror underneath the gemstones in the design is a favorite technique of mine that adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the piece. By allowing light to pass through and reflect back through the materials, the mirror creates a mesmerizing effect that draws the viewer in and enhances the beauty and complexity of the gems. This technique also amplifies the energy of the stones, creating a powerful and dynamic piece that radiates positive energy and inspires creativity and imagination.

Mandalas, intricate geometric designs representing the universe, help focus the mind and induce inner peace. Sacred geometry explores mathematical principles underlying creation, fostering spiritual growth and understanding of interconnectedness. Both practices offer a transformative experience, cultivating harmony, connection to the divine, and a deeper awareness of the universe. This expanding mandala explores the geometry of 24 and emerged from the energy of me sending healing energy out to 2 friends undergoing life changing challenges. (Have fun exploring the numerology there!) Lepidolite is a powerful stone that balances the heart, third eye, and crown chakras, bringing the body, mind, and soul into harmony. The stone is known for its ability to clear blockages in these chakras, allowing for divine connection and inner wisdom to flow freely. Lepidolite is also associated with transition and emotional healing, making it a valuable tool for releasing stress and anxiety. Its calming energy has earned it the names "peace stone" and "transition stone," and its versatility allows it to be used in jewelry or as a pigment in paints. It is a type of mica and I happen to LOVE mica. I used to have a ginormous pet granite boulder as a child. I used to sit in front of it for hours picking mica off it being hyper focused on trying to split the layers. (I still love doing that). Patination is a unique and beautiful process producing an amazing green and brown film on top of a copper sheet. You can see where bits have flecked off allowing the copper underside to peek through. The cut shapes against the striking dreamy purple and white glass have created a spectacular split complementary palette that is mesmerizing. Trust me, you’ll want to touch it.
