Hi Maria111, welcome to the site & u asked me about why i called it the metallic mandala...well making a mandala is quite a sacred thing & i dont presume to do so but the mandalas usually have eight directions in relation to the noble eightfold path & the disc i used for the above pic also has eight points or directions....hence the title. Thanx for commenting btw & i hope u enjoy what this site has to offer :D
