Mandala CCXXXII

(Above:  Mandala CCXXXII.  Custom framed: 22" x 22".  Found objects hand-stitched to a section of a vintage quilt.  Objects include: A woven trivet; a door knocker; kitchen drain strainers; wooden ends of flag dowels; metal tags for suspected meat; washers; vintage poker chips; children's scissors; coat hooks; ten-cent food credit tokens; assorted buttons and beads.  Click on either image to enlarge.)

It's been well over a week since I last posted a Found Object Mandala.  Momentarily, I've had a slight blip in this series.  We forgot to order more stretcher bar for mounting!  This piece was left stapled to its larger stretcher bar, a heavier duty piece of wood.  It had to wait until our supply was replenished.  As such, I haven't started a new one either.

In the meantime, I've been stitching on my new installation, Reasons for Tears, and also transforming a large number of vintage yoyos into handmade greeting cards.  Plus, more wooden thread spool Christmas ornaments are under construction.  More posts coming soon!  Promise!
