different kind of tree

Took a glass etching (sand blasting) class years ago, thought I'd make the tree into a Mandala. I like the blue-ish color and the sort of 'sand dollar' appearance in the middle.

waiting for spring

'To op their trunks the trees are never seen. How then do they put on their coats of green? They leaf them out, they leaf them out!' this is a song I learned long years ago and at the end a hand gesture of opening. Ready for Spring!

white cactus flower

A tiny white flower no bigger that a finger nail is blooming on a cactus in the sunroom. I'm just glad something is blooming!

dried weeds

Dried weeds are about all that is in the garden here at the end of winter. There are interesting subtle colors, all is not gray. A couple things are blooming inside, did get some seeds in the mail and we will have several days in a row above 60. 3 Cheers!!

waves

Looking for mandala with Water as the subject I came across this one taken of waves in Hawaii. it is titled "After the Crash" we were looking down on the ocean from above. Patterns that form in the process of making these Mandala always amaze me. There is almost a three dimensional ring mid way in the circle.

Layers

Felt layered with beads, paper, plastic and glass. My felt flower made into another flower! Just because.

snow and more snow

It's great for the skiers but hard on the folks who have to shovel the sidewalks! After a while the piles are too high to stack any more, fortunately in the Denver area it does melt a bit. But more is expected Monday night! This mandala is snowy branches with ornament like images forming between the bigger branches.
