"Biennial Boulder Blow-Out"- Mandalas- Part 1!

Each of us made a large piece of variegated pre-felt...


                                             ...using wool in our favorite colors...



                                                  ...plus yarn embellishments.



                                                 Our vibrant pre-felt pieces...





                                              ...drying in the cool Colorado air.



                                  Pinning a paper pattern to each piece of pre-felt...

                                                       ...cutting around it...



                      ...and removing the outlined pieces from the pre-felt sheets.

   
                                                     Mixing up the colors...

                                               ...and trying them on for 'size'.



                                                 Switching out the pre-felt bits...



                                                                    ...again...



                                                              ...and again...



                                                          ...until the results...



                                                     ...are pleasing to the eye.



                                               Next time: more process photos...

                                                   ...and my finished mandala.

What a wonderful idea. And just like a real patchwork quilt has scraps of dresses and curtains and shirts, this will remind you of the friends you made at the workshop...
