I love that the camera was able to capture some of the gold metallic colour that I used. Metallic and glitter can be so tricky for a camera. I used photo paper to create this mandala, maybe that is what made the difference.
It must also be the angle of the lens - the North West area is bright and shiny, while the SE side is dark and a bit flat. It's a wonderful mandala Queenie

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads. I was thinking it is finished. I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me. I am not loving this piece at the moment. I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.
I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late. This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again. I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture. I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste. Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like. Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

I haven't counted, but I must have created at least 100 of these flowers. None of them is the same. Such fun! I am always in awe of people's creativity. Maybe I should take a moment to be in awe of my own creativity! Creativity is one of the great blessings of my life. I am so grateful that I have the time enjoy making things. The weather looks a bit iffy this afternoon. If it cooperates, I will be doing some stitching on my deck in the sunshine! I am linking with https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
