The latest mandala is finished

Aye up me ducks. 

Flying Fanny here, aka Meanqueen, aka Fit Old Bird, aka Batty Sister, mostly known as ilona. 

This is a small mandala, five and a half inches across. The centre piece is a key ring I bought from the Arts Centre. It is hand made but not by me. I added the yellow French Knots to it, then more French Knots between the small pearly hearts. I have wrapped the hoop with yellow ribbon. 

It's been quite warm today, almost Spring like, so I went back to the place where I did the litter picking yesterday. Two more bags added to the pile, plus other rubbish which I dug out of the hedge bottom. Goodness knows how long that car bumper had been there. I will go back again to this location because there is plenty more to clear away. Let's see how long it takes for the Council to remove this. 

While I was there I had a scout around. The pond is on the edge of an industrial estate. Making mental notes about any more that needs to be tidied up. I found some fly tipping which is too difficult to remove because it's on a steep bank and some of it is on a boggy piece of ground. I think the Council will have to come out to clear it up. I will let them know. 

I don't mind doing a bit now and again when I have time. I like to see the grass verges free of litter. When the grass starts growing in the spring it will swallow up the unsightly mess, that's until the mowers come along and chop it into tiny pieces, which then makes it harder to pick up. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
