This weeks challenge inspiration is all about orbs. I am the Diva explains nicely what orbs are and how they have influenced her work this week. I too am influenced by that marvelous spherical shape. I was hoping I would not be once again faced with a brain stump. As I explored what orbs meant to me, I recalled spending a great deal of time while in undergraduate school studying Wassily Kandinsky and in particular being attracted to his more geometric art during The Bauhaus. I've included a few examples here of what I'm talking about:
Kandinsky's compositions have had a great deal of influence over my own art. It was an honor to get to see these paintings up close and in person at The Kimble while taking an art history course on the 20th Century.
Below is my tangle for this weeks challenge. Additionally, I incorporated the challenge made by Linda Farmer at TanglePatterns.com to tangle your name! What a fun way to explore new tangles! So off I went to choose what tangles from the indexed website I needed to use with my orbs to tangle LeslieRahye.
The Tangles I choose were as follows:
LeslieRahye rotated |
[L] Limpitz
[E] Efilys
[S] Sooflowers
[L] Laced
[I] Inapod
[E] Emingle
[R] Raindotty
[A] Ahh
[H] Hepmee
[Y] Yang
[E] Eye-wa
I'm secretly amused that many of the elements of the letters of my name possess circles/orbs. Perhaps it is fate! In any case, I hope you enjoy my Orbs and thank you for looking!
