Heart Window mandala to color

So this was not originally going to be a heart design. I was starting a mandala inspired by the geometry of rose windows, and then noticed a heart shaped element appearing. So I emphasized that to create this heart rose window. I hope you enjoy coloring it!

Sens Cathedral Rose Window to color

This rose window, which is located at Sens Cathedral in Yonne, France is a wonderful example of Flamboyant tracery. The tracery is made up of curved lines which create a stronger lattice for holding the glass. The curved lines are flame like shapes rather than the straight lines and circles of older rose windows. I envy the fact my husband has seen a lot of these windows in real life.

It took hours to be satisfied with the basic layout for just the window, so I didn't include the marvelous framing designs on the top and bottom. I may modify the image later with those. Hopefully you enjoy coloring this one in! Click on the images for larger versions to color. Like with all my rose window designs, you have my permission to use them for crafty purposes as well as just coloring.

Coloring Page: Rose Window at Saint Denis- North

This is the North transcept rose window at St. Denis. The photo is from Wikimedia Commons.
One of the things I love about this window is the use of the zodiac in the 5 circle.

Here's my version to color. Click on the images for larger versions.

There is another window from St. Denis to color here.

Recently I was sent some gorgeous vintage glass and a couple beautiful barrettes. I used some of the glass to make this bracelet.

You can find some details about how it was made here.
This is one of the two barrettes-

The barrette is made out of vegetable tan leather, and the wonderful artist who sent it does have an Etsy store, where you can get lots of different hair toys and leather masks- Beadmask. As far as the feather fall goes, that was made by a friend who I'll be setting up an Etsy shop for soon. Another extraordinary beader and artist named Teri Packel. 

Rose Window at St. Denis to color

This is one of the rose windows at St. Denis Basilica. I drew a version to color or embroider, I hope you enjoy it. I love the geometry of rose windows, especially the older ones which were laid out and planned using straight edges and compasses. Click on the images for larger versions. You have my permission to use them in all sorts of crafty applications.

ETA: Rather then do a whole new blog entry, I'm just editing this one. I'm a huge fan of Recyclebank, it's an educational site for greening your life that allows you to earn points which you can trade in on all sorts of things. I just logged in and found out they added a whole bunch of magazines to the rewards. Right now on Recyclebank is a Passport promotion, in a half hour, you can earn enough points for a subscription to magazines like Popular Mechanics, Car and Driver, Martha Stewart Living or Martha Stewart Weddings. . You can create a new account using your FB account to make it really easy. Check it out! My son is planning to use his points on Car and Driver and Road and Track for his grandfather. :)
