Another Project

I'm working on a mandala based on the chakras. I'm on the third chakra now. Each circle is about 4" and has a different color and ruffle pattern. 

The red root chakra is a mix of size 11 and size 10 beads in different shades of red with different finishes.

The orange one is all size 11 beads with different shades and finishes arranged to ripple. The photo doesn't show the ruffle. :(  

When I started this one, I only had enough of four shades of size 11 yellow beads to make it, but I think it works.  It's almost complete.

I'm planning to have a heart shape inside the green circle since green is the color of the heart chakra.

I have no idea how I'm going to put them together once I've completed all seven. I better get on the ball and make sure I have enough shades of blue and true purple (which is so hard to find) so the blue, indigo and violet come out different enough.
