Art Class Drawing and Is This a Mandala

Happy Cactus Monday ... a part of an earlier art quilt
My drawing class was a week ago yesterday. This first exercise was about cross overs. I can see my mistakes well here and in the drawings I posted yesterday too. At least I am seeing them. Hopefully the next step is in correcting them. This exercise was in proportions contour drawing of my own hand contour drawing of a class mate the black above the eye was another mistake it should have been just water on a cue tip to get shading from the ink not India ink ditsy me not listening to directions well I think this may have been blind drawing with just a bit of sneak a peek same classmate...contour drawing big sneak a peeks I brought my little water color kit to class so painted it at lunchtime last exercise at the end of the day of 3 quickly done contour drawing of two classmates and the teacher, he is the guy at the bottom.
On Sunday I felted using my felting machine
I see this is a mosaic of woolly bits
and now it's a flower too
I have made three more and one to go
for a quilted wall hanging to be
a whole bouquet!
Here are the woolly bits... I bought from Terry Busse's Etsy Store!
and then I used my sewing machine to outline parts of it
Is this in anyway a mandala?

  2. I could do with following your drawing exercises myself. Awareness is the first step to drawing, the more you do it the more you see. I haven't done any drawing for ages, you inspire to have another go!

    Marianne and Kelly thanks for validating this as being a mandala! This leads me where i need to go for a new quilt project.

  15. Well I guess I'll have to make an ACT. Are they all made of cloth and what are the specs? I never paid attention to those details. I'll email you.
