Desert Landscapes Mandala, pt 2

After languishing on the shelf for nearly a year, my Desert Landscapes Mandala part 2 is finished!


Now I can finally move on to part 3, whew!  I love this design, but the backstitching of part 2 nearly did me in.  I am amazed by anyone who can wait until the end to do backstitching (or adding beads).  If I didn't do it as I go, I think I'd never finish anything. :)
