Winter Update

These are the things I've done since mid-December...

Planning to Paint

I ordered some arty crafty supplies from DickBlick.com.  I plan to do some painting, pastels and playing with clay.  I even ordered a table-top easel!  The only problem is that it's too cold to work in the garage right now.  I might leave the really messy stuff for spring.  :)

Finished Mandala!

I finally finished it!  Urban Threads design.  Tons and tons of French knots!

Mandala Update

I've started on the purple French knots in the center.  Here is the latest photo of the Mandala.

You can see how raised the French knots are in the second picture.

Mandala Progress

This project is for Buddhism class.  The French knots represent my attachments and the mandala is a meditative device.  French knots are a bear, so I won't be filling the whole thing in.  I started on the outer circle today, in blue.  Here's the progress of my French knot mandala, so far.

New Testament Apron

I finished the apron!
