Work in Progress Wednesday

 I made a bit of progress on this mandala.  I added some butterfly beads.  Again, this is rather a bold mandala thus far.  I will consider how to add some smaller details.  I am okay with waiting for the next step to reveal itself to me.  Rushing a mandala is not a good idea.  I have a number of them placed close to my desk so that I can just stare at them.  The next step is always revealed eventually.

While talking with a friend yesterday she was encouraging me to considering selling my mandalas.  Right now I am mostly thinking about having them ready for my solo show in December.  I have to admit that I have never been keen to sell my stitched work or give it as gifts.  I put a lot of time and energy into my work.  Am I being selfish?  Or just practical?  I would have to charge a fair amount of money to make it feel worth my while.  I am not sure that someone would pay that much.  Maybe that is more a lack of confidence.
