Happiness is a Yellow Mandala
As we all know, The Color of Happiness is yellow.
In the midst of writing a more serious post for Ostara, I wanted to see if I could replicate my earlier success with the thirteen-section mandala. With the intention of making myself happy, I chose another photograph from my old neighborhood in San Francisco, a place where I was very happy, and had at it. The result? A beautiful mandala, a personal and mathematical success.
Let's not forget that the iconic smiley face is yellow. And a circle. Happiness is a yellow mandala.

You'd be surprised how I managed it! After struggling and being so frustrated trying to follow your instructions, I just gave up and figured it out for myself. (I think you are more accomplished at Photoshop than I am.) Anyway, I think that is part of the lesson that making mandalas has been for me - to find my own way and to trust myself to succeed on my own terms.
I have "got it" now, and am looking forward to making more thirteen-section mandalas. Thirteen has always been a lucky number for me!
Can't wait to see your next series.
