Mandala Cloth

Long ago I wrote about some unfinished work I had and this piece was among them.  Happily, I can now say it is completed.  As you can probably tell, I used details of it to make my blog banner. 

 I applied shisha mirrors and heavily embroidered and appliqued the cloth.  Birds, leaves, spirals, hands, hearts and eyes are images that always make their way into my work.  They are all such ancient symbols and I think of this cloth as a mandala or ritual cloth.  I hope you enjoy the work.
