Mandala CXXXIX

(Above:  Mandala CXXXIX. Custom framed: 18 1/2" x 18 1/2".  Found objects hand-stitched to a section of a vintage quilt. Found objects include:  An entire, plastic chess set; white, plastic water bottle lids; blue casino chips; loose leaf paper rings; silver grommets; vintage lid for English made Propert's Leather Saddle Soap; pieces of lace; buttons and beads.  Click on either image to enlarge.)

This small Found Object Mandala was designed specifically to fit into the leftover pieces of the floater frame moulding that we had in the garage.  It seemed wasteful to throw out the small sticks.  It was a great challenge to use them instead!  I'm very pleased with the results!

I've already started on the next mandala ... a big one ... with thirty PEZ dispensers!
