This healing mandala created from the flowers and tendrils, flowers and foliage of tufted vetch is something of an anomaly. I was quite obsessed with the flowers of the diminutive tufted vetch and spent much time visiting them in a lane near where I live. The name came to me deep in the bowels of White Scar Cavern in the Yorkshire Dales.

I didn’t know what it was for, I didn’t know what the name meant. However I have since discovered that the essence of tufted vetch is a great balancer of emotions and self image. Tufted vetch brings harmony and restoration to sexual self image and aids recovery to a wholesome life of intimacy and connection. It's also good for sensual recovery and gender issues.

Mandalas are made from many separate images, often over a hundred, which are shot on location wherever the nature finds were discovered. They are then slowly combined into a mandala structure using the latest imaging technology over a number of days.
