Visually interesting! Reminds me of the mandala patterns I've looked at when shopping for decor recently.

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

    Quoting starwomyn:
    The design would make a great alter cloth
I agree......It contains the ancient "Flower-Of-Life" design......

A great design piece, I'd love to see the painting when you finish it.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Interesting. I hope you will share the finished painting with us.

THAT MAKES ME THINK OF A STAINED GLASS WINDOW IN A CHURCH. WITH BRIGHT COLORS, OF COURSE.

Wonderful movement. Reminds me of Leonardo’s Vitruvian Man.
Also the sweeps of the orbits of heavenly bodies.

Sacred Geometry is universal....every religion has used aspects of it, but Islam exceeds all others....Mathematics was conceived in the Middle East and Islam doesn't allow religious images.....a pictorial likeness of Allah is considered blasphemy.........So they developed Sacred geometry.........It's quite mind-boggling how beautiful the work is and how much it's neglected in the Western world as a form of art and expressions of beauty......Perhaps Christians believe that Allah might rub off on them if they studied Islamic religious art.........

I first encountered it at Expo 67 in Montreal.......I was floored......I couldn't believe that it was so alien to the West.........
