I didn't lie intentionally
Yesterday I posted about not starting any more mandalas until I finish some. Well, that was a mistake. I signed up to participate in the San Fransisco School of Needlework challenge 'Purple Reign'. I signed up a few weeks ago and had no idea what I would do. I was pretty certain I would be doing a purple mandala but I wasn't clear about anything else. Well, yesterday the idea came to me and I had to get started on it. The mandala stencils I purchased a while back had yet to be used. I was sure one of them would be reminiscent of a crown. I used purple Lumiere Paint to stencil it onto some fabric. The shimmer is there but a bit tough to see in the photo. Now to add beads and stitch.
