How to create mandalas from digital photographs.
Below is a short description of how we create mandalas from a photographs of nature.
This is a simplified overview of the process, the actual steps you would take using
Photoshop and your computer are a little more complex. We have created a tutorial
that will show you, step-by-step, how to create mandalas.
So, if you would like to create mandalas like these yourself,

Here is an overview of how we created Andes Mountain Mandala.
At the left is the source photograph with the section we used in the mandala outlined in white.
|
|
|
This mandala will have 14 individual sections.
|
|
|
We create a mirror image of the first section and place the two sections together.
|
|
|
Then we copy and rotate the mirrored pair to create the complete image.

Dear Komra,
I was so very much surprised by your kind letter after my comments. You
must become hundreds of comments every day (I think your site is worth
it). That you took the time and effort to send your kind answer to me,
means very much to me.
I know my English is not as good as I would like it to be, but I hope you
understand what I am trying to say, so that you know I was not just
writing sentimental words, but that I truly ment what I wrote to you and
that I was truly touched.
You know why these Mandalas suddenly made a little difference? Because
in the first place they are beautiful to look at, and the longer one
looks the more impressive they become in colour and shape.
But then I started to open all the pictures and read the explanation how
they were made. I saw the pictures of nature that were transformed in
these beautiful Mandala's. And then it came all upon me. It showed me
what is essential in this life, on this earth....It's the nature in
all its performances, all its beautiful ways. No matter if we are ill or
worried, in prison, in shelter, in storm or in love....The nature is
there for us and this beautiful and eternal "spirit" is for free and for
ever! And all these beautiful meanings seemed to be gathered together,
concentrated, in your Mandala's.
You know something. I have got this weird thought. When you go to bed at
night, look at the stars. And then you will know that you did not live
your life in vain, because I'm sure you touched many peoples
hearts....and that's what it's all about.....isn't it? It is a beautiful
thought for you !
sleep well and thank you,
hugs from Holland (the Netherlands)
Christine
