This is the last of the five mandalas that I had ready ... last week ... for mounting, framing, and photography.  I'm already busy with another, larger mandala and have a small one in the design phase.  With new gallery representation, I need to keep up my productivity.  It isn't a difficult task!  I truly love transforming ordinary, strange, obsolete, and hilarious things into art.  Besides, it's football season!  Yes, I also enjoy college football, especially my beloved team: The Ohio State Buckeyes!  There's nothing better than stitching on a mandala and watching them play! Go Bucks!
