Success!! A finish!

I've been concentrating solely on this piece for the last few weeks. It has traveled all over the Maritimes with me. Progress was slow. Tons of counting and constant stopping and starting. I found this project exhausting. It'll be a while before I do another mandala.

All that being said, it looks lovely finished. I'm glad I decided not to do the black outline. It's softer, more organic this way.
