The latest mandala is finished.

Aye up me ducks. Howz ya diddling. 

Cast yer eyeballs over this beauty. I'm mighty chuffed with it. It's nine and a half inches in diameter. When I started I had no idea how it was going to end up. I take the construction of these mandalas very slowly. Decide on the colours as I go along. Go through all my bits and bobs to see what might fit. Keep adding more layers until I fill the hoop. 

The green circle is the bottom of a cardboard popcorn tub. Previously I used the top rim of the same tub  on another mandala.  

The previous hoops I have wrapped with ribbon but I didn't have enough yellow for this one. I used wool instead. 

Some of the decorations I used for this. The black and gold motifs are from a charity shop. Everything is stitched on, I don't use glue. It's fully covered in red felt at the back, with my name and year sewn into it.  

I now have a set of four. I can't decide which one I like the best. Sorry, they are not for sale. When you sell hand made craft items, you never get the price you want for them, I would rather keep them. I am fascinated by circles and how they all fit together. 

Now I am watching some arty crafty videos on yoootoob, I might do something different for the next project. I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea for the face masks. I will play around with that. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
