This mandala I made a few years ago when our mandala group worked on the theme`"Autumn". I painted the background and put real leaves and chestnuts on top of it.
Did you see Teri's leaf mandala?
And her beautiful autumn leaves? (you have to scroll down after clicking the link)
You really have to see them! Eye candy!
Deze mandala heb ik een aantal jaren geleden gemaakt, toen we met onze mandala groep werkten aan het thema herfst. De achtergrond heb ik op papier geschilderd en daarop heb ik blaadjes van de wilde wingerd gelegd en kastanjes.
Heb je Teri's blad mandala gezien?
Of haar schitterend geschilderde herfstbladeren? (wel even naar beneden scrollen na het klikken van de link)
Die moet je echt zien!

Marianne,
ReplyDeleteThis is truly beautiful. I love the way you have used your painting and natural materials to create this beautiful mandala. The chestnuts (?) are tremendous. Do you still have this? I have heard you can dip autumn leaves in wax and they retain their color indefinitely. I also thought someone once told me glycerin worked, too, although I am not sure if you allow the leaves to absorb it or your coat the leaves with it. Have you done something like that?
This is truly beautiful.
Thanks Marianne!
Beautiful!

Marianne, beautiful mandala which seems the essence of autumn. Love the colors and chestnuts. Happy autumn to you.
ReplyDeleteOMG...I love this so much, Marianne! Just beautiful. I thought at first these were cherries on top, but I see it is chestnuts! I don't see the chestnuts here in south Florida, but they sure are beautiful atop this stunning design!!!
