My love of the turtle inspired me to make these mandalas. As you may know there are many stories in various cultures about the turtle, my favourite being that the shell of the sea turtle having 13 main scutes represents the 13 lunar months of the year and that she represents Mother Earth. Here i have depicted her with spirals, bubbles and the four directions of the medicine wheel...with a bit of artistic licence.....

This hand painted fabric Turtle Mandala measures 17.5cm (6 1/2") diameter. It is single sided and stiffened on the reverse (plain black) to hold it's shape. It comprises of a hand cut lino print of my own design. It has then been over painted with pearlescent/metallic fabric paints, outlined with silver to make it 'pop' and stitched together. It features softened metal from drinks cans that have been stitched,inked and embossed at the 4 directions. Mixed yarns are zig zagged on the outer edge and a hanging loop with a single, hand rolled, painted, paper bead to finish it off on the top.
Please note: I have other items for sale of a similar design and technique in different colour themes listed here in my Folksy shop if you wish to take a look.
Care of this handmade fabric item:
This item is decorative and not really suitable for children or over handling. Simply iron on a gentle heat on the reverse if any distortion occurs.
Whilst colours are light-fast please keep out of direct sunlight or windows to avoid fading or degrading over time.
Items can be dusted with a soft brush or lightly wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Not suitable to be washed or submerged in water.
A little BluTak type temporary adhesive can be added on the reverse near the bottom if in a draughty spot to hold it to the wall.
Thanks for looking Vx
