Rainbow Swirl.

[saving-stark]

Remember that poll I made about the crochet rainbow mandala? It’s finally done and mounted today!!

[rovingwren]

She done! I am making a twin in blues and greens as well and I cannot wait

Should I add some crystals? She makes a big statement all by herself, not sure if she needs the sparkle 🤔

All done!!! Look at this rainbow goodness!!!

I've spent the last 4 years doing art that is almost perfectly symmetrical, and I've only just tried using the same techniques to make something entirely asymmetric.

And honestly I'm obsessed with it

E MA HO! - WONDER

"When we say 'Emaho' ('Wonder') - it is the wonder or surprise that comes from realizing the unborn nature.

Phenomena have never been born in the past, they do not dwell in the present, and they will never cease in the future. They neither come nor go. This is the real meaning of the absolute truth, the primordial nature."

~ Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

#Obscutober 2024 Day 25: Lacuna 🫥

This one didn’t get nearly as much time as I would’ve liked since I spent most of today on a very different art piece…In vain since it’s still not ready to post. 😅

But I am still happy with this one & you’ll get to see that *other* art later! 

Click the "Keep Reading" and we'll talk a bit more about my general thoughts/process. ✨

I'm going to keep this description short and sweet tonight Sparklers both because I feel I don't have that much to say, but also because I spent most of the day trying desperately to get a different piece of art ready to post today too...But couldn't quite manage it, so you Sparklers will find out about that tomorrow. Point being: I'm about typed out...But I also can't stand the thought of uploading a third Obscutober piece in a row where I have to come back and type out the description later. 🙃

Likewise, I didn't have as much time as I necessarily would have liked to play with different ideas for the mandala on this one. In another timeline, I might've tried to do some kind of motif with a book with a clearly ripped page or something of that nature, since this definition is supposed to be, "Especially in a book or other piece of writing, including music." Or, thinking about that, maybe something that plays on sheet music would've been cute.

But since I was pressed for time, I opted instead for what I thought was a much cheekier option: I played on the idea of the mandala being unfinished, and therefore having lots of lacunas—missing parts—and in some areas looking like maybe the template for the mandala was still showing.

I do promise that unfinished-ness was intentional and in fact very deliberate. I've used the circular mandala templates when making mandalas traditionally, but I haven't bothered with them or any other "proper" tools beyond Procreate's symmetry capabilities for these digital ones this month. It's arguable there are some days I should have because it would've made things easier, but for the most part I've felt pretty comfortable without them.

The background was partly recycled from a rainbow swirl I made several days ago and ended up not using. And I'd tell you which Day that it was almost for, but I genuinely cannot remember for the life of me at the moment. 🫠

But you can see that I went over it with white in a lot of places. I had originally thought about making the whole things just plain black and white, about as unfinished looking as possible, but the idea of having it partially colored in a very unfinished way seemed like the more visually interesting way to go.

I stand by that assessment, though the whole thing did come up looking unintentionally a lot more like stained glass windows that I intended. 😅 Oh well!

I did also add one final, subtle touch; Just a little glitch effect over the coloring. I don't get many opportunities that feel fitting for a glitch effect like that, even though I really enjoy playing with what it does. Somehow that felt appropriate, like maybe the mandala itself glitched out at some point and that's why it's so unfinished. (Thank God that's not actually a thing that happened, though!)

Is it amazing? Probably not really, but y'know I think I could've done much worse, all things considered. I do think it's pretty in it's own unique way; I didn't expect to like the half-finished elements so much, but here we are! 😊

As usual, I'm not looking forward to cross-posting—especially after having done it once already today!—But I do feel at least a little better knowing I've got a super-obvious choice for the music pairing on Instagram...Here's hoping it'll actually cooperate with me when I attempt to add it. 🤞

That said, I best be getting to that now. See you Sparklers in hopefully less of a rush tomorrow! 😵‍💫

From this past summer 🌞 ~ live painting on one of my current WIPs

I’ve been awake for over 30 hours and I’m absolutely miserable BUT I finished this baby blanket that I started last year and had to set aside while my back/shoulders were raising hell!

Pattern is Crochet Chevron Blanket by Daisy Farm Crafts with adjustments for the smaller yarn i used

End wedges were filled in via trial and error

Yarn is Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Bundle in Gnome and for this size, took a little more than a skein and a half using a 3.5mm hook
