My middle son, Timothy, goes to a forest school two days a week. Last week they were learning about the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Divided into groups, they made mandalas with the elements of nature they found around the forest. This is the one Timothy’s group worked on.
The center is red cedar pulp from a decomposing log. Then there are pine cones, leaves, moss, pine needles from various types of trees, mushrooms, and ferns. The very center is a mushroom. I love that this is school for him!
