Drawing a mandala the other day reminded me of them in general. A while back I was reading a lot of Jung and writing a story in which a woman sews on a four-hole button and I got all into the fact that a button with four holes is a kind of mandala itself, a square within a circle. I've recovered, mostly, but it did make me like buttons better. This mandala mandala (uber mandala?) is also a spiral of buttons, from small to large, kind of like a nautilus shell. Pretty thought-y for an art project, but there you go.
