weekly mandala – week 5: leaves

Hello! :)

This week’s inspiration wasn’t hard to find. It’s definitely Autumn out there! Because I was a silly goat and decided to stay in on one of the most gorgeous Autumny, sunny days of the week (and thus missing all the cool photo ops), I took my inspiration from a pre-existing photo ;)

The photo:

The mandala, made with Drops Paris cotton yarn and my trusty 4mm hook:

And the planning (which I will blog about soon in more detail):

Now normally I’m not such a fan of blue. I don’t know why; it’s just not a color that I’m eager to grab whenever I’m rummaging around in my stash. I intentionally chose this photo because it forced me out of my comfort zone and into using blue, and I also thought it was a different view on Autumn! :) Which was certainly needed after last week’s hues of oranges and browns ;)

Oh and if anyone is interested; I plan on releasing a free pattern for these mandalas soon! :)

xo,
