Two Mandalas (from 2013)

I found these on Facebook, and could find no evidence that I’d ever blogged them here — so here they are. The first one is based on the number nine, while the second is based on fifteen.

A Mandala Centered on a Regular Dodecagon

In addition to the central dodecagon, this mandala has two rings of squares, one of equilateral triangles, a ring of rhombi, another of regular hexagons, and, finally, a ring of equilateral decagons.

The mandala used here first appeared in this blog-post. I then used Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator to put those images on the faces of a dodecahedron. If you’d like to try this program yourself, you can do so, for free, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
