I love all the powerful Incan and Mayan symbology incorporated into Oksana Stepanova’s (OKSITOCIN) pen & ink mandala entitled “Inca”. Her spectacular use of symmetry and asymmetry along with all the detail work makes for a stunning piece of black and white art. She may be an interior designer by trade but she is an amazing artist at heart.

Marawa the Amazing holds the world record for hula-hooping 150 hoops at one time! I still need to learn how to do it with just one hoop…how does she do it? She can also roller skate in high heels whilst hooping – but she prefers to do it separately. She truly IS amazing!

275 – Basket Pottery Mandala
At last weekend’s Corvallis Fall Festival, I spotted some fascinating pottery by Hilda Kidd-Barber of Fishbowl Pottery. I really appreciate her beautiful use of mixed media: basket weaving and ceramics. “The stoneware is all wheel thrown, then altered so that reed can be woven through the top third of the vessel after it has been fired.”
274 – Peacock Spider Mandala
Nature photographer and lover of Maratus speciosus, Jurgen Otto, captured this delightful photo of the Australian Peacock Spider (maratus s.). What an amazingly colorful creature. I love the vibrancy of its colors and the beautiful pattern on its “tail”. And check out the four green (mandala) eyes.
