After and Before A new Design
💚All We Need Is Love 💚 – The rainbow represents peace and serenity love and promise. The colors of the rainbow also correspond with the 7 chakra colors. There are many movements that use the rainbow as their symbol especially the LGBTQ movement known as the equality flag. It has been used in Buddhism and a symbol of peace ☮️. This heart mandala design is made of beads the color of the rainbow. A design I have been wanting to do for some time. The rainbow symbolizes many things and I designed this to represent the chakras and for equality! 🕉 🏳️🌈
