Beaded Mandalas

Mandalas are usually circular designs symbolising the universe. They are used in Hinduism and Buddhism as a focus for meditation.

Weellll .... some people may have needed to practise some meditation after the first beaded mandala session. Cool, calm and collected was replaced with hot, bothered and frustrated. However, knots in the thread, eye strain and things just not going to plan were soon sorted out.

Fishing line, brick stitch, felt, beads, tea, coffee, biscuits and lots of laughter were shared during the beading workshops. Here's a sample of the beautiful beaded mandalas as works in progress and finished pieces of jewellery.
