Description Thought that this would make for an awesome henna belly
One of many mandala-ish creations I drew over the summer - got really into symmetry and lots of detail of course
Odd fact - the centre was drawn from a shapely drinks coaster!:
Drawn by hand with V5 Pilot and 0.7, 0.3 Staedtler pens with use of lightbox
Original size is about 9" square on parchment paper
Created Summer 2008
EDIT Re-scanned Mar `11 as old scanner was pants

I'm diggin' this. I love your simple and logical solution for the symmetrically repeating image. Replication!

But I really like your full name! "Dawn Quadling." How charming! Brits do have such charming names.

Thanks muchly

Hadn`t realised my name was so quaintly British - seems foreign to most around here despite being an old English name, don`t figure!?!

You're welcome, it's a really lovely design. There's a company called The English Stamp Company who will put pretty much any design you like on a stamp, and I think that would look really good as a 'medallion stamp' that you can use to build up a 3-D Mandala .

quaddie wouldn`t be happy about me having any more stamps might get one of my own design by him though

That is so awesome. I love all of the detail that you put into your work, it's amazing.

Quaddles-Roost In reply to yetipie [2008-12-05 17:46:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - it took an awful lot of effort to leave the centre clear, think that would have been too much then?

yetipie In reply to Quaddles-Roost [2008-12-05 23:05:45 +0000 UTC]

I love it how it is, it brings more attention to the rest of it.
I don't think it would be too much if you put some designs in the center, though. Maybe something more loose, and less complicated than the outside? I don't know.
Either way, it's great as always!
