My name is Tamas Kanya from Budapest, Hungary. I've been creating what you would call mandala compositions on the riverbank near my house in Budapest.

I thoroughly enjoy the creative process that includes gathering materials on my walk down to the river Danube. I only use naturally occurring seasonal items: plants, flowers, seeds, acorns, pinecones, shells, pebbles, leaves, etc. I pick up everything that's available, in the immediate environment, where I create my pieces and always try to make something new, something unique.

To me, this is a meditative, relaxing hobby in a beautiful environment and it gives me joy to spend time there.

    I never considered foxtails pretty until right now; however, I do love running them through my thumb and first finger when they’re still green.

    Running them through your fingers makes me think of my childhood, happy playing in the field by myself. I think a field with open golden foxtails moving in a breeze is beautiful, but horrible when walking through it and all the seed awns get stuck in your clothes

    Green is my colour and I'm immediately drawn to anything green! 💚💚💚

    The tiny cacti are so cute. My late grandmother kept a small cactus garden in her backyard, including one very tall cacti that was at least nine feet tall by the time she died.

    They're not cacti but either the central head of a flower (like gaillardia) or a green immature seed cluster. Still, amazing to hear about your grandma's tall cactus!

    Are those nasturtium petals? The color combined with the shells and peppers make it look Hawaiian to me.

    Looking at the picture before I enlarged it, I though the tiny yellow seeds (flower buds?) nestled in the small round brown half shells looked like shiny gold beads. The yellow with the shading of light brown around it really gave it that effect. Very nice!!

    Where does she find so many shells??!! Along the Danube, or does she save the shells after each mandela is made? They're all so clean and white too.

    I like all the little daisies scattered around the butterfly. Having the substrate of smooth fine sand certainly makes it easier to place the individual items, especially the flat rocks here.

    The small round green seeds(?) in the middle are such an intense green. I wonder what they are.

    I'd love to see this and the other designs as printed fabric. I'm imagining the possibilities.😊
