More mandala painting.

 I decided to try the mandala again using the folding techniques I found for tie-dying. 
I did get more clear mandala designs this time, but the dark areas must be part of using paint instead of the dyes.  I have noticed the paint migrates to the high points on the fabric as the water evaporates during the drying process. 
I am not displeased, and may actually use the one with the pink in it for the challenge. 

 It continues to be extremely hot here this summer. 
I noticed how awesome the clouds were while watering my plants. I never cease to be inspired and awestruck by the beauty of the sky.

Since this is a quick post I'll refrain from pontificating this time. 

I am grateful for:
Tiny kittens acting more like normal healthy kittens
The beauty in nature
Work days that don't tax my brain power or my patience
Using my creativity even when it's too hot to sew
