Some Community Mandalas

As you may or may not know, this past year I worked as an arts facilitator, with women and children at a local domestic violence shelter. Some of the most awesome things they created were mandalas with yarn. It was such a simple thing, but creating the circles with yarn really challenged the young kids with their dexterity, and the adults seemed to enjoy making them too. In these finished pieces, I paired an adult mandala with a youth mandala. I think they turned out brilliantly....it was a joy to work with them on such a therapeutic process. *proud* These community made mandalas will hopefully be hung at the shelter some time soon.









So see? I hadn't abandoned the mandalas at all!
