ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a great idea thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour example looks spooky similar to a drawing sitting on my desk at school! I don't know a ton about mandalas but decided to research some last week. I thought about doing one about the seasons or nature but decided to save the mandala idea for January. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOooh! This looks great! I like to incorporate leaves into fall projects and this really seems to be something the kids will like! Thanks!
