Welcome to Emerald Heart Flying! Here you’ll find an assortment of fabric mandalas and note cards, hand-crafted in Seattle, designed to inspire you. The mandalas (Sanskrit meaning “circle”) are 3-dimensional pieces made from new and vintage fabric, buttons, beads and trims. The benefits of owning one of these mandalas are many.  They can simply be objects of beauty to gaze upon.  They can serve as spurs to inspiration or sources of calm.  They are useful as tools for meditation.  They can also be used as a tool for personal development.  Healing practitioners will find them useful as adjunct tools in their practice.  They are designed with intention, color, and energy frequencies that help raise your vibrations.

Find out more about Emerald Heart Flying by clicking the About tab. Explore the Gallery to see examples of my work. The Note Cards page has images of cards currently available (photographs of some of the mandalas.) Included under the Mandalas tab is some general information about mandalas. Under the Soma Pi tab you’ll find information on an energy healing technique that I offer.  Some of the many Resources that have been helpful or inspiring to me are also listed.

Enjoy exploring the site. Please use the Contact tab to email or phone me with comments or questions on the pieces, to make a purchase, or to place a custom order. I look forward to hearing from you!

With warm regards,
