Wild Mandala
With this mandala finish I am ever so close to being ready for my solo show. When I first put this one together I was thinking I would treat it like a crazy quilt. My concern was that all the stitching would be lost in the busy fabric. So this piece waited for the right idea. I can be patient and know that the right thing will always show up for me. That happened this week. While at a thrift store I found these wonderful trims. They seemed perfect for this mandala even if it takes it a bit over the top.
Time and the weather cooperated and I was able to sit outside to stitch. Always a treat! I hope there are more days like that yet. It is getting cooler though. I have three mandalas waiting in the wings. Two of which I feel certain I can get finished. The third may not happen as I am collaborating with some seniors on a project that will require me stitching a mandala. I think it will be fun for them to have their work included in a show!

Beautiful work, Angela! I love how these came out.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela, that trim is perfect for the mandala. I hope that you'll tell us all about your solo show :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes OTT is just what we want. This mandala makes me think of pachinko parlour or other gambling establishment, neon lights in a big city, disco lights, amusement parks...
