Peacock Garden Mandala, parts 2 and 3

Time for a status report:  the second and third installments of this mandala were relatively small, which was a nice break.  This picture also shows just a tiny bit of the fourth part.

To bead or not to bead?  Usually I wait until the end of a project to add the beads, but given the size of this mandala and the large amount of beading to do, after much deliberation I chose to bead as I go.  So far it hasn’t been a problem but we’ll see if the beads get in the way as I work on future sections of the chart.

Part 4 looks like it’s going to take a long time (but so pretty!  Just wait and see!) and Part 5 should be available in about a week.  I’m going to keep working on Part 4 but realistically there’s no way it will be done before I get Part 5.  But if Part 5 is small, maybe I can catch up in time for Part 6.

    This is really quite lovely, isn’t it. Looks like you completed a lot since I looked at it in person. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
