      Some find that creating mandalas, those symmetrical, structured, circular patterns used in many cultures to represent wholeness and healing through ritual, can be a rewarding, relaxing experience. This guide by artists Gale, Marisa Edghill, Alyssa Stokes, and Andrea Thompson walks readers through creating their own mandalas. A short chapter explaining the mandala and placing it in historical context starts off the guide. The next chapter provides basic information about necessary materials and tools, structure, motifs, and color schemes. Step-by-step exercises help readers to draw, paint, collage, and arrange found objects into mandalas, incorporating their own personal style as they go. VERDICT Appropriate for readers of all artistic skill levels, the book also complements the recent adult coloring book trend, in which mandala designs have figured prominently.
