Pat - we are in isolation mode, it has been raining, so no gardening and plenty of Gimping. Therefore I have a couple more mandalas for you.

Pat and level_0 - thank you for your kind comments; I can keep this going as long as you want :hehe

The creation of this one is interesting as it is made using an old gradient of mine that automatically adapts to the foreground and background colours, in this case two greens.

OMG

I have never had the idea of tinkering with personal gradients... :gaah

lylejk, Love your multi-coloured mandalas.

oldmangrumpy, Beautiful results all, I love your many and varied ideas and the textures and metallic looks you put into each one. Particularly love the butterflies in post #319.

Teapot - thanks; you already know I admire your delicate, intricate mandalas like this last one

Some monochrome mandalas created using Ofnuts path tools (of course).

Why not to use Brian's Fan Illusion to create "Mandalas"? eheheh....

Ella & P1937 - thank you for your comments. Also good to see other members contributing here too - Erisian will like that

A couple more, one just path stroking and the other with some added BRL effects.

Wow, this thread has turned into something quite cosmic. Nice work everybody.

Thank you OMG for all your "Mandela Madness" renderings!

Wallace – no worries, being one of those 'vulnerable' citizens (like many others), I'm just happy to be able to play and contribute from 'enforced' isolation. I also hope my posts provide some value for other GC members in similar circumstances.

Trying to keep the flow of ideas coming and looking for some new ways to create mandalas using the 'jitter' dynamic. I think they just qualify as 'mandalas'
