See all images in this collection at https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhGhBYDoll0This special set of Christmas illustrations has its roots in my early graphics and crafts fair adventures. Several of the illustrations in the Santa Season series were originally hand drawn as cards that I sold at one of my first crafts fairs. You'll find the original 1976 copyright mark on them (elves, Santa, angel, wreath, candles). They were part of a show I participated in at California State University in Sacramento, back then known as Sacramento State University, before the shift to CSUs. I could have redrawn them, but decided to just "clean them up" using digital editing programs. I was unable to locate the original drawings, so I scanned the prints into the computer and set to work. The results are less than perfect, but they are presented here for your enjoyment and coloring fun.
There are 4 Volumes of Santa Season - collect them all!!

Full Set - Volumes 1-4The mandalas and patterns are all derived from these original drawings, plus a few more that didn't make it into this book.

Some of these designs are available in a pdf download for 4-1/4x5-1/2'" card size at my Etsy store, in case you'd like to use these images as your personal Christmas cards.
The mandala is a spiritual and ritualistic symbol in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In general, it is a microcosmic representation of the Universe.
NOTE: Originally available as a pdf in my Etsy shop, some of the images have been updated or enhanced. As a result, they may be slightly different from the preview images. The digital version is still available in my Magical Design Studios etsy shop.
The mandala is used to help focus attention on spiritual guidance, and for mindful practices such as meditation. Most mandalas, especially today, are circular in design. The circle has long been a spiritual symbol of wholeness.
But the use of mandalas isn't just spiritual. Therapists as far back as Carl Jung have often used mandalas with their patients.
For the past 30 years I have used mandalas in my watercolor and silk paintings, as well as my glass jewelry fabrication, my cloth fabric dying, and the quilts I design and construct.
Psychologists claim that coloring is the next best thing to meditation. I find mandalas are nearly as therapeutic to create as they are to color.
