More Progress - Mandala
5:15am

The green cones took on a new evolution, becoming funnels for the light.

My first attempt at the pale purple light rays turned out too huge. Its removal will take a while.

Even More Progress - Mandala
2:28pm

The entire center portion is done!
I'll finish the black circle and what I can of the outer purple. Then it's off the hoop, for more stitching.

I have a 14 inch hoop. I checked, the entirety of the design will not fit it, so this piece may stay off the hoop? I'll soon know.

I have a 14 inch hoop. I checked, the entirety of the design will not fit it, but I may try it anyway.

Mandala on the Big Hoop
2:28pm

I did put it on the 14 inch hoop. Its tension isn't as tight as it was on the 12 inch hoop, but it's still helpful.

Mandala off the Big Hoop

Photo taken just before I loosed it from the 14 inch hoop.
I've begun finishing the upper right corner. I will do the corners and then the last rows of stitching at the sides.
