Heart Shaped Mandala Coloring Page

The whole design on this page is a heart, and the mandala inside it follows that shape all the way in. Rings of pointed petals step inward from the outer edge, each ring a little smaller than the last, until they close on a single small heart right at the middle. Most heart mandalas are a round pattern with a heart parked in the middle of it. This one is not, and the difference shows the moment you start coloring, because every ring curves the way the outline curves. Work from the middle outward, let each ring take its own shade, and the result looks like a flower opening. Work from the outside in and that small heart becomes the reward waiting at the end. Either way the petals are large enough for colored pencils, which is not true of most adult mandalas. This is the most detailed page in the set and the one adults ask for by name. Allow an hour and put something on in the background.
