Slow Stitching Sunday

I have started stitching another mandala. I wonder if everyone is getting tired of my mandalas. I can't say that I am tired of them. I used to lose interest in things quickly and would move on to the next idea but mandalas have really stuck with me. Am I just being lazy? Not coming up with something else. No matter as they make me happy and peaceful. This one is painted silk. I wasn't totally happy with the way it turned out and it has languished. I decided to cut off the part that wasn't working and put the main shape into a hoop. I have outlined the shape with the stem stitch and silk thread. Silk thread on silk fabric is absolutely divine!
