Mandala of the Month Challenge hosted by 12-month mandala challenge
Month 08
One day late but completed none the less.
For this month, I threw everything out the window and brought the concept from a WIP into the fold.
A month ago, I found a butterfly who had been knocked out of the sky by a storm. I brought him home, named him Butters, and set him up next to my drawing table. His presence eventually inspired an art project that was composed of a spiral sunflower with a memorial to the butterfly. (See last slide)
Since I've been elbow deep in drawing a complex sunflower I decided to continue the patterning into this month's mandala wedge.
Conveniently, drawing 1/12th of a sunflower and digitally repeating it is significantly faster than the inspirational artwork it came from.
Hopefully I can get both the sunflower and September's wedge completed before October begins.
