I started by drawing up some images. I then turned the drawings I liked in to designs that I could cut out. Then the cut up designs were used as masking while taking the ebru mono-print. The masking is then removed to reveal the final image.
Triple lotus design
The Lotus flower is a symbol of perseverance and enlightenment. The Lotus is a flower that rises out of the mud to bring beauty to the world with its presence and harmony to the mind with its essence.
The lotus is also associated with beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, and eternity
I also created a design with Shiva's Trishula and a sanskrit Shiva prayer.
Om Namah Shivaya
You might notice that two of these pieces have a very fine combed pattern. I recently spoiled myself with a new super fine toothed comb. I don't know how I went so long without it.
