the Lion
I made Karen-Marie Klip's Mandala Lion in 2021. Karen-Marie and her husband owned and operated the paper and quilling shop in Denmark, Karen-Marie Klip. This was one of the last projects she produced and by far my favorite and the largest. (They retired in 2023.) It is approximately 75 cm tall. Bob framed it and we have it hanging in the living room.

| It is a start! The kit was more suggestion than actual step-by-step instructions. However, it was made far easier than one would imagine by using her kite-shaped form. | The forms make up the face and the the mandala. They get filled in with quilled shapes. | The face is completed and the work on the mane has been started. |
