Mandala Beginning

I cut a circle from an experimental needle felted piece. I have stitched it to a hand-dyed piece of fabric. It is rather satisfying to use these pieces created over the years. I love when things come together. What is the next step for this mandala? I am leaning towards just embroidery stitches, no beads for this one. However, I always let the piece speak to me and tell me what it needs. It may cry out for beads at some point. Who knows! I enjoy the intuitive process in my artmaking.
