  3. I certainly like this Mandala! The colours are my favourites and you show the Pekinese stitch to its fullest with the felt and the goldwork beading. Sorry for repeating myself, but your work is stunning and an inspiration to us all!

  4. Absolutely stunning work Chris...the colours are beautiful and what a fabulous design. I am sure you have inspired a lot of people with your gorgeous mandalas and it also shows them that you can work on a smaller canvas and still produce stunning masterpieces....
