Mandala CCXLVI

(Above:  Mandala CCXLVI.  Custom framed: 13 5/8" x 13 5/8". Found objects hand-stitched to an antique crazy quilt block.  Objects include:  A plastic Duke mayonnaise lid with a piece of a lime green plastic beer yoke and a crescent moon charm; four toy airplanes; red, plastic lids; laminated Tampa Nugget cigar bands; crocheted circles; Tinker Toy connectors; four mechanical drawing compasses; blue lids from a toddler's snack item; assorted buttons and beads.  Click on image to enlarge.)

This small mandala was designed for another one of the cut-down frames from an older series of artwork.  It was a challenge to work small, to fit the design into the existing frame; and to use another antique crazy quilt scrap/block that was never finished into a quilt.  I've had the mechanical drawing compasses for months and months.  This is the first time that worked!
