Mandalas are intricate circular designs used around the world to invoke calm centeredness through reflection. In recent times, drawing, coloring, and painting mandalas have become popular ways to seek out this inner serenity. It is in this spirit that the talented embroiderer Isabelle Haccourt Vautier offers 20 mandalas inspired by cities and countries she dreams of visiting.
