This is another Found Object Mandala that was finished during the second half of December but not photographed until the light was better in my studio. At some point, I really ought to invest in high quality lights. Maybe that should be my New Year's resolution!
I could probably rationalize the expense. After all, the Ohio State Buckeyes lost their quarter-final playoff game. Steve and I will not be going to Hilton Head to watch the semi-finals. That might save enough for professional lights! LOL! (It might not though! I have no idea how much they cost!)
This piece was created on a quilt top that I backed with batting and a section of a damask tablecloth. I quilted it before adding the found objects. The car fresheners were purchased at the Pickens County flea market several months ago. My studio smelled of pine scent for weeks and weeks. Thankfully, enough time has gone by that only a pleasant aroma remains!
Despite not having professional lights for my photographic needs, I do have lots of natural lighting in my sanctuary/studio. I use a few sections of my ProPanel booth ... in the middle of the giant space ... often angling these walks so that I seem to have rather even light from both sides. So far, it's been working but I think I could do even better.
