Thank you Alison, I do think of that as I am taking petals from flowers and other parts of plants, each one perfect in all their tiny details.

I really love these – I was hoping you’d do another one for this week. The inspirational quote I read for today talked about the lesson in impermanence that monk’s teach with their sand mandalas. It reminds us that all passes away and to enjoy the present moment to its fullest. Thanks for this beautiful reminder!

What a lovely way to look at mandalas made of natural materials Eliza, thank you. It is very freeing to create art that is there to enjoy for just a short time.
