Stress Relief Mandala #18 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of the mandala, a stylized lotus opens into pointed petals filled with spiral scrollwork and small round dots. A ring of smaller petals wraps around it, then a band alternates ribbed teardrops, veined leaves and swirl-dotted circles. A thin circle separates this from a wide outer band woven from interlocking ribbon loops, each loop holding a pointed leaf and, further out, a small closed crescent like a shut eye. A clean double circle closes the design.

The line stays thin throughout, but cell size shifts a lot: tiny at the center, more generous in the teardrops and outer loops. This mandala coloring page rewards patience at the core and the interlaced ring, and moves faster around the rim; expect two to three hours from start to finish. It suits someone already comfortable with detailed coloring rather than a first-timer.

Start with the central lotus and its spirals before tackling the loop band, where the small crescents need the finest tip you have. As a printable mandala, it holds up best on heavy 200gsm A4 paper, which resists show-through and takes repeated layers of color well.
