Description
Large Salt MandalaToday i was playing around with salt on a black surface - wanted to do something new and experiment with unknown mediums
This right here was my very first attempt at using salt to create art. It took me about 1h and 40 min to do this - and in just that short time i have learned a lot that i will take with me to my next - far more intricate piece that i will do with salt . I need to create better tools on distributing salt in larger and smaller quantities
( and find a way how to make perfect circles. I filmed the whole process ( time lapse ) but i will not publish it , because im not really happy with the outcome of this experiment . Lets hope the next one will look better

The first rule of salt or sand art. Turn your head if you have to sneeze. Great work.

Cool! We do these here in India for festivals and stuff, except with this special kind of powder. They're called kolams.

Quite! Are you familiar with Buddhist sand mandalas? they use a terrific tool for metering out the sand in a fine line... salt would be just the same!

Not happy? It's near perfection. But, ah well, whatever you are comfortable with.

I really like this Mandala it shows the little different bumps and twist of it. From this this helps make it more beautiful in its own way.

Random ideas include anchoring a string in the very center and put a small funnel on the opposite end of the string to create perfect circles, or (alternatively) use thread to create a geometric guide suspended above the cloth. It might be interesting to see how different shading effects could be achieved by blending different densities of salt, or else mixing salt with other substances like baking soda or powdered sugar. This is beautiful, even if you can see ways to improve it.

Wow!! If I tried something like that, I would sneeze halfway through and ruin it all, and then get upset and quit.

Working with powdery substances reminds me oof this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tb7Az… Art Attack from the disney channel, my kids and I love it. Ofcourse it's for kids and yours is more for grown-ups.
But I couldn't do it like you, not even close, awesome work.

Reminds me of the art thingy where the artist placed sand on a metal plate, then sent sound waves and music through it, making the whole thing vibrate, and the sand automatically formed different patterns.

I would be so afraid to mess up, could you imagine one wrong move and everything shifting.
