Garden season is here! Seeing as we spend many hours at a time enjoying it, we thought it might be nice to create some flower art to enjoy in our garden. We happen to have lots of old cds kicking around so we thought we would see if we couldn't put them to use! Here's what we came up with. ~ A Spinning Garden Mandala ~ To create you will need: Pressed flowers and leaves White paint or white flowers for the background Outdoor mod podge paint brush To Begin: Cover the cd with mod podge then top it with white flowers (we used pansies) or paint it white, then brush on another layer of mod podge. Arrange the flower mandala design on top of the white. Then, gently cover over top of your flowers with more mod podge So many possibilities! These monarch wings were picked up along side of the road after they had been hit. Now they shall live on in our garden. Hang your mandalas with some fishing line... find a tree for them to live in... and let them spin and sparkle away! Garden magic. ~ Shanti ~
