Very interesting celebration of the circle... how there seemingly is not end to its continuation.

Ah yes the universal and sacred circle!
Thank you for your wonderful comment! I like the way it is worded. I may use "celebration of the circle" in some future work.

Lovely! The use of the three linked rings is great. And the placement of the rings at the bird's breast, right where the heart is (I imagine), is perfect. Makes me wonder what they stand for? Some might say for the linkage of body/soul/spirit, others for heart/mind/will, religious ones might see it as Father/Son/Holy Spirit, still others as past/present/future, or even as earth/water/sky.

As usual you have great insight! I do not like to make meanings obvious or too easy to figure out. Then again if I make it to difficult to decipher then my intention goes over the viewers head.
The meaning of the three circles I leave open but I think you pretty much have a good idea of my intent.
CIRCLE: totality; wholeness; roundness is sacred as the most natural shape(atoms, bubbles, etc); the Self; the infinite( having no beginning or end ); cyclic.
There is more on the circle but I only included what is pertinent to my intent.
MANDORLA: the vesica piscis, or "mystical almond": depicting divinity; holiness; the sacred; it also represents an opening or gateway; the flame, signifying the Spirit or a manifestation of the soul or spiritual principle.
These are simply general meanings of the symbols. There are also secret meanings which will not be revealed.
the above mentioned meaning of symbols comes from research done and from J.C. COOPER's AN ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TRADITIONAL SYMBOLS, copyright 1978 Thames & Hudson Ltd., London

Ah, I hadn't even noticed the vesica piscis at first, but definitely!
Are you going to use the three linked rings and vesica piscis symbols again?

I have used these a lot in the past, not always together. Yes these will most definitely turn up again! (among more "secret symbols")
