Confession

I must confess that I am behind creating my monthly mandalas for 2013. I have plenty of material, but how to attach it to the board was my challenge. Then I remembered a technique I learned recently at a bonsai workshop when I was re-potting my bonsai forest. Cut a length of chopstick, wrap wire around it a couple of turns, insert ends of wire through hole in the pot (or board, in my situation). Then wrap the wire around the tree, etc., that needs to be secured. It works! I use aluminum wire. It is cheap and flexible. So, now I have January mandala completed.
