Hi Steve,
Just beautiful! I love it! I'm glad to hear and see you are doing well. Best of luck always
The 'Power of Schmooze Award' is The Award for bloggers who “effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship".
I pass this award to you. Check out my evolving blog - take a look at the left hand side.
I am honored. Thank you both.
Steve
I am so impressed ... it looks so well done. It is made of cut fabric and was arranged to the shades of different colour.
How I wish that I can do something similiar ... :)
You inspire me!
Thanks - I am very glad to inspire others, I give credit to the universe that inspires me. Pinkhippo, you can do something similar... but it takes some time to do. So know that you will have to be patient. First, just find the materials you want to use. Next, cut them in triangles about 1 inch long, then after hours and hours of cutting, begin to arrange them according to color. Just in piles at first. Then after hours and hours of arranging, begin to glue them to the surface (canvas in this artwork). If you study the detail you can see how this is done overlapping one triangle with the next. After many, many hours of doing this, you will have your finished artwork.
Of course, if you want you can make a much smaller artwork that will take less time. I like to have some very detailed transitions from color to color, but there are many ways to arrange the colored triangles you have cut. All ways are good, and THERE ARE NO WRONG WAYS TO MAKE IT.
Good luck!
I'm loving what I'm seeing here Steve. I've always been instantly drawn to the spherical or circular shapes... and with your talent in weaving color, texture, and inspiration into it, it can't help but be a beautiful thing.
hypnotizing
very nice mandala :)
