Mandalas are a great way to showcase found materials, especially colorful flower petals, leaves, twigs and stones. Portland based artist Jen Muehlenkamp has a definite knack for the art of mandala building, as seen here in a collection of her creations. They showcase carefully arranged flower petals, found butterfly wings, and fall leaves, arranged with thoughtful symmetry. Others are made from carrot tops and acorns. Simple, fleeting, beautiful.
