Create mandalas, kolam & rangoli in yarn, chalk, glass or flowers

Dainty floor paintings are a South Indian tradition. These mandalas are also known as kolam or rangoli. My neighbor in Bangalore starts with simple chalk dots, and improvises a design in flowers daily, to welcome visitors. Mandalas can be created as mosaics, stones, stained glass, or increasgly, in yarn. And those art forms inspire my friends in India! Friends in Ojai CA display a stained glass mandala with an LED tea light behind it, to contemplate as they fall into a peaceful asleep.

It's only "masquerading" as a button to trick us into behaving badly. Imagine my shock! So take it off your button board! Immediately! Can't say what board to put it on, but please find one. It's too pretty to delete. Yours, truly, Button Girl. (P.O. It would have made one heck of a button!).
