361 – Natural Mixed Media Mandala

Cottage Grove mixed media artist, Shannon Weber, created these amazing art pieces from pieces of Mother Nature entitled “Life Guard Towers.” She used beaver sticks, knotless knitting, wax linen on found beach glass, and kelp bulbs: carved, stitched and woven.

Even the cover to this box is a work of art.

349 – Raku Bowl Mandala

Corvallis painter and ceramic artist, Rebecca Arthur, created this beautiful mystical bowl. I love the mysteriousness of this piece. And get this…she paints with smoke and fire! Love the effect. I especially appreciate the “dot” on the right side with little light dots radiating out from it.
