This is a work in progress of a WATER mandala <\/a>for Stretch Yourself Challenge #15<\/a> for July 2008. The challenge is to create works of art the represent the five elements; earth, wind\/air, fire, water and Aether\/the void<\/a>. Since the five elements are a spiritual guide, I felt that representing them in mandala style was fitting.<\/p>\n So far this piece is comprised of recycled party and prom dresses, a silk kimono, carpet samples and a plain white sheet. All of the dress fabric is some kind of recycled scrap that I received from my late Aunt Minnie. I still have some sequined dress that I am trying to work in and I need way more blue. Going with swirls and curls to get a wave\/water type feeling. I am also trying to really incorporate texture with the unusual combination and layering of the fabrics. I believe this might become a tote bag to take to the pool for my swim sessions.<\/p>\n I will share more when it is finished. And the other elements as they are created this month. Still working on techniques from my Fiber arts book too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a work in progress of a WATER mandala for Stretch Yourself Challenge #15 for July 2008.
