Finishing a new cloth mandala…sewing it to a linen background to go into a deep purple frame. I used pieces from a couple of fabric printed digital mandalas and fabric from two old cottage tops and some new batik prints from Bali. Almost every square inch is stitched. I am still debating about whether to put glass over it in the frame or just leave it deep in the frame on its own. I do like touching it so.
