marvoulous Mandela


I do supply in schools and we did a project  on mandalas . I love how detailed and pretty  they are. I was itching to have a go at one . I have seen some  Really intricate ones . This one seems quite simple but I like  the colour and overall effect it gives.

This crochet one come from the simply crochet mag. Research suggest the mandala represents order  and balance  . Which  I guess is true as i find these really relaxing to make.






However what I found less relaxing is how long it took to get a decent photo. I blocked the project as you are told to in my case had no choice it wouldn't lie flat lol  but it really helped the project look good but try as I might I couldn't get a good photo . I have seen so many good blogs with amazing pics  mine never seem to show the work as it truly is. I saw on mummy bunny blog a post about photography think I will be preceding tips lol
