I recently decided to try to make my masked patterns on a larger scale. My normal dimensions for masking projects is 8"x 10" or 11"x 14". I have been working in those sizes for years, but the urge to go bigger was ever present. So, I started cutting some big masks, and started a dynamic collection of large ebru art originals.

The dimensions I'm working with now is 18"x 24". I used to only marble paper this size for my screen print projects. Now I am quite comfortable masking marbled patterns at this size too.

Three of the big ebru pieces are mandalas. With two of them being chakra mandala interpretations. Plus a new large Sri Yantra mandala. I intend to make a chakra mandala for each of the primary seven chakras.
Third Eye Mandala - Ajna Chakra
Root Chakra Mandala - Muladhara Chakra
Large Ebru Art Mandala - Sri Yantra
I'm going to keep working on big pieces. I want to finish up the chakra mandalas, and I have a few patterns in mind for future pieces too.
I really liked cutting on a larger scale. However I will still be making the smaller original sizes too. I love how much detail is packed into to the patterns of the smaller sizes.
