How to Make Your Corner Mandala.

Step 1:

Take any important piece of paper, i.e. from an old boy/girlfriend, partner, some curator,
an ex-spouse, any politician, a blank sheet of paper will do, basically a source
from any social system. Ask your neighbor if you can borrow a silicon gun.

Step 2:

Fold the paper in half along its short side. Make a tear along that fold about
a third of the way up. Fold the two sides created by the tear, from the endpoint
of the tear, lengthwise to the 'inside'.

Step 3:

Starting from the point at the end of the tear, where the two folding lines
cross, begin to draw a circle freely, looping small at first, then bigger, clockwise
or counterclockwise, it doesn't matter. Always return to the center point before
creating the next loop. Your corner mandala should appear almost immediately.
Stop when your done, but be sure to always end up back where you began, at the
center point. Otherwise it's anything but a corner mandala.

Step 4:

Fold it up in three dimensions. Imagine the overlapping sides as your floor.
Press on the overlap. The silicon will stick and hold the corner together. Silicon
corner mandalas should be put by a window to dry.
