Celtic Knot Mandala #21 - Free Coloring Page

Celtic interlacing knotwork fills this mandala from center to edge: a tiny knotted rosette sits at the middle, ringed by looped bands that form an almost flower-like knot. Eight narrow triangular points, each holding a small heart, alternate with eight teardrop petals, and every petal cradles two spirals coiled side by side. A continuous outer band of rectangular Celtic knots runs all the way round, closing the design just inside a clean, unbroken circle.

The linework is fine and doubled, as Celtic knots always are, breaking the surface into many small shapes to fill. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with detail and a steady hand in tight corners, best tackled over several sittings rather than one.

Start with the eight petals and their spirals, the roomiest areas, before the tighter knot border where lines sit close together; fine liners or sharp colored pencils control these shapes better than broad markers. Print this printable mandala on paper of at least 200 gsm, A4 or A3, so repeated color layers hold up on the tiny sections.
