Every year SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) holds an on-line autumn fundraising auction.  Each piece is exactly 12" x 12".  I decided to create a miniature Found Object Mandala for this event.  It was a challenge.  Sometimes, small is hard!  But I think the work turned out very well.  My hope is that someone will love it enough to bid ... September 13 - October 6!
