What is Mandorla Designs?
It's a way for me to create and to speak with actions. I'm a talker, and sometimes it's difficult to shut my mouth. Artistic expression is a way for me to get things out without opening my mouth to say a word. I love it.
Someone recently reminded me that an individual's world view is often reflected in artistic expression. I agree with this and began to think about the purpose of Mandorla Designs. Maybe the purpose is actually bigger than previously thought. I don't push an agenda, I just let my hands do the talking. Since I've started Mandorla Designs, I have learned so much about the world around me, PEOPLE, and PURPOSE. That is to say, I look forward to what tomorrow holds because I'm growing in knowledge and understanding of my outward environment by the simple action of creating. Creation bears understanding and wisdom. I never thought that the purpose of Mandorla Designs would encompass such things. Very interesting. Very Very Interesting.
Yes, this design is completely contemporary with button embellishment. Supaa Kawaii !
So, apparently nesting has sparked my creative and organizational abilities. I love nesting for this reason. I've made this super cute baby outfit out of new and vintage fabric finds. It's very artistically interesting because the gold fabric is probably the oldest. I've taken this fabric from curtains that I found at a yard sale in the museum district in Houston. The next layer is a find that was probably manufactured in the late 60s early 70s. I found this bright and colorful fabric at a Catholic Church thrift sale in Aiken , SC. The outer most gray and white layer encompass a contemporary design. This fabric was purchased from a local store. I love to preserve "old" while embracing the "new.
