Coronatessellations: Chronological Order (Oldest to Newest)

Updated: Jul 19, 2020



This is all the coronatessellations (collages / art pieces from recycled items) I've made in chronological order (oldest - top; newest - bottom). I update this page as I make them. You can look on Instagram and search hashtag #coronatessellations to see all of the ones that everyone has done! :) It is a collaborative art project from @stylefarmer (David Hamlow) on Instagram; someone called it a "virtual quilt". You can join in on the fun too & put #coronatessellation on your photo.

I like to make collages and hang them on my wall, but you can also make temporary arrangements of items you have and take a pic. It's fun & relaxing to make them! :)


You can also check out @wearegoodatthis on IG for more fun.

Making the Digital Images on Different Color Backgrounds -- gogobox app (< 1 minute)

I use the gogobox app to take the picture and place it on different color backgrounds -- to post it on IG.

Step 1: "Upload from Device"

I take a photo with shadows as a square (not a diamond). I use the "Upload from Device" feature in "Content Creation & Classification" to crop out the shadows, then I save this image on to my camera roll.

Step 2: Draw feature

I then use the Draw Feature in "Content Creation & Classification" in the gogobox app. I choose a color for the background and then press "Image" to select the image I just took from the camera roll. Then I rotate the square into a diamond

Immediately below is a tessellation of all of my coronatessellations. :) Then, after this each individual one is bigger with some more notes. Others have more notes and behind-the-scenes on that post.


Tessellation

"A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps."

Coronatessellation #1

Coronatessellation challenge. Collages from things around the house. โ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ˜€. Join in on the fun! Tag your posts with#coronatessellationsCheck out@stylefarmerfor more info & instructions.


Btw the scraps of cloth are from a custom textile I made with@spoonflowerfrom a photo of a mirror glaze I was trying to make for a cake. Not great at making mirror glazes yet ๐Ÿคฃ, but itโ€™s a cool psychedelic textile. ๐ŸŽจ






Coronatessellation #2

Coronatessellation collage โ€” with some coronavirus in it โ€” just the words! ๐Ÿ™ƒ


Some of the shapes are loosely inspired by Henri Matisse.๐ŸŽจ I made it mostly from mail with a little paint and a Diet Mountain Dew cap.

Do you like blue or black background better?

Coronatessellation #3

Before I started, I had a different color scheme in mind, but then I decided to use the plastic label from Mentos gum container and it came off in this cool 3-D spiral!

So I went with it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŽจ. Post created with gogobox app.




Coronatessellation #4

This โ€œLetโ€™s Easter Togetherโ€ & looked perfect for Easter (obviously ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฃ). When I made the coronatessellation for yesterday I thought the Mentos label spiral kind of looked like a nest. So for this one, I shaped it more into a nest and added some M&M eggs (which are not glued down ๐Ÿคฃ) โ€” which also fit w/ Easter & springtime. I shaped some foam packaging into flowers.

I also reused some of my dried paint scraps and also tape with paint from the painting in my earlier post today.

I couldnโ€™t decide which background I liked best, so I posted them all. ๐Ÿ™ƒ


Fun stuff! Itโ€™s very relaxing creating collages. ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿป๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ˜Ž I made room on the wall to hang them. I took down another recycled art I made โ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŽจ which I will use in a collage. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Coronatessellation #5

Multimedia coronatessellation! With lights! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’ก Swipe ๐Ÿ‘‰ for video.


Reused the lights & cake board from my dinosaur abduction cake. I also cut out part, so you can still see this QR code on the base piece of paper. It would probably work if you scan it with your phone. I also recycled some pieces of soda cartons that I had made into a different recycled art piece. I took that one down to make room for all my coronatessellations. ๐Ÿ˜€โ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŽจ. Will write more on my website.

Coronatessellation #6

Today I kept it simple because yesterday there were a bunch of bells & whistles. ๐Ÿ˜€


There are 3 materials here other than base paper: plastic packaging, paint and 1 piece of cardboard from the box that plastic baggies come in.

Flicking paint is fun! While I was flicking paint, I covered the border and the center with foam packaging to concentrate the paint in between. I will use these foam packaging pieces that had excess paint in a future piece.





Coronatessellation #7

Itโ€™s a weird one, but it is spring! Spring flowers. ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒทโ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ˜Ž Coronatessellation#7





Coronatessellation #8

This one has a joke to myself in it: โ€œImagine your home, totally organized!โ€ Iโ€™m not the neatest person. ๐Ÿคฃ. Patriotic colors. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Also influenced by Mondrian โ€” even though his geometric paintings were not symmetric, he was seeking balance and harmony. I donโ€™t think this is completely balanced, but when I tried to add a little bit more to the right side, it seemed to be too much...so maybe it is balanced. ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŽจ Coronatessellation#8.





Coronatessellation #9

2 things I learned from IG artists collide! ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž Learned about@handicraft_360&@stylefarmeron IG. Flowers I learned from@handicraft360YouTube video & Coronatessellation#9! Was going to have 9 flowers for#9, but it looked incompleteโ€” so I added#10! ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒท. Btw I decided to do 25 or more? ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ 25 will look nice where I put them on my wall, but I could make more room too. ๐Ÿ˜€





Coronatessellation #10

Inspired by@GlblCtzn One World:#TogetherAtHomeon now โ€” to support@WHO& healthcare workers & all impacted by#Covid19& everyone. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽน๐ŸŽฌ๐ŸŽจ. Coronatessellation#10.





Coronatessellation #11

Andy Warhol-inspired coronatessellation! This@theartassignmentYT video was recommended to me: Eat like Warhol where they went through things he liked to eat. Haha. ๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŽจ. They have other Eat like the Artists videos too. When things are normal, Iโ€™m going to do a series of recipes inspired by Eat like Warhol and the other artists.


But Warhol ate a raw mushroom ๐Ÿ„ for one of his video pieces or maybe all the time โ€” Iโ€™m just going to cook a mushroom recipe instead. ๐Ÿคฃ. I didnโ€™t think I could draw a Campbellโ€™s soup can or other things. I decided to do his Flowers in a grid, but with recycled items. โ™ป๏ธ๐ŸŽจ. Coronatessellation#11.





Coronatessellation #12

Toilet paper! One of the top topics during#quarantinelife! ๐Ÿงป ๐Ÿคฃ At one point worth more than bitcoin probably. ๐Ÿคฃ


This is made of strips of toilet paper rolls. I was actually saving them for other recycled art projects before#covid19. Tomorrowโ€™s Coronatessellation will be inspired by#quarantinebaking. ๐Ÿฅ–๐Ÿคฃ Coronatessellation#12.






Coronatessellation #13

#Quarantinebakinginspired coronatessellation! ๐Ÿฅ–๐Ÿž๐Ÿคฃ Actually I think I read gold went up. Itโ€™s a joke anyways. ๐Ÿคฃ I was going to add some more, but it looked better simple like this. Happy#quarantinebaking!

Coronatessellation #14

I wanted to do a collage of animals because of the talking gecko there, but the journals, magazines & mail I get donโ€™t have a lot of animals. ๐Ÿคฃ So then I made a geometric collage kind of inspired by tangrams / Tetris, but Iโ€™ll make a real tangram (7-piece puzzle) one of these days. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Thatโ€™s a green faux leaf I painted light blue. I made one more of a turquoise color, but this one looked better. The turquoise leaf will make an appearance in an upcoming one. ๐Ÿ˜ŠCoronatessellation#14. Post created with gogobox app.





Coronatessellation #15

Saw this fun lung illustration (is there such a thing as a fun lung illustration? ๐Ÿคฃ) in an ad in a journal. Then I added some pieces of a soda carton around it for color & design. I didnโ€™t intend it to have any meaning, but when I looked at it when I finished, the red pieces look like little bricks.


So it could mean that if you stay vigilant that you can keep yourself and your lungs (which can be hard hit by coronavirus!) safe โ€” staying vigilant is like building a little brick wall around them! ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ท ๐Ÿงฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž Coronatessellation#15.





Coronatessellation #16

This was inspired by@voxdotcomYT video on why knights are always fighting these giant snails in medieval art. ๐Ÿคด๐Ÿ—ก๐ŸŒ. Unfortunately it may be a slur against the Lombards, but the image of the knights fighting these giant snails in these serious murals of medieval art was funny. We also donโ€™t actually know what they meant. As one of the comments said, maybe there were giant killer snails back then & fortunately the medieval knights took care of them. ๐Ÿคฃ I didnโ€™t have a little knight figurine, but I had some astronaut figurines. Unfortunately he only has a dustpan to fight off the giant killer snail. ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿคฃ Coronatessellation#16.

Coronatessellation #18

Chubby Birds Coronatessellation! ๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ”น ๐ŸŽจ Maybe chubbier than real life. ๐ŸคฃPrimarily inspired by@pencilshavingspost for color inspiration, so it worked! ๐Ÿ™ƒ I think they are rough approximates of a pink robin, European eater, & a parakeet (oops black head, instead of whitish).

Coronatessellation #20

Recycling squared art! I use the plastic that comes with packages for different things โ€” including as a painterโ€™s palette.

Coronatessellation #21

Here is a tangram: a dissection puzzle with 7 pieces. You can make lots of different shapes with just these 7 pieces โ€” over 6,500! I will make a few in my upcoming coronatessellations. ๐Ÿ™ƒ I said I was going to do 25, but itโ€™s looking more like 50. ๐Ÿคฃ Join the โ€œvirtual quiltโ€ as someone called it. Itโ€™s really fun! ๐Ÿ˜Ž I like to make collages, but you can also take a quick pic of things at your place. Check out@stylefarmerfor more info. ๐Ÿ“ธ.

Coronatessellation #22

What do you see? ๐Ÿง A candlestick? ๐Ÿ•ฏ Faces? ๐Ÿ˜€ This is a tangram candlestick, but I liked this one because it reminded of the visual illusion called the โ€œfigure / ground effectโ€ We donโ€™t like uncertainty, so our brain looks for stable items in an image, but we can see multiple things@interaction_design_foundationhas a good discussion. Example ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ right via@wikipedia. Also kind of reminded me of Rorschach or ink blot test. ๐Ÿคฃ Coronatessellation#22.


"Figure/Ground (Multi-stability): Disliking uncertainty, we look for solid, stable items. Unless an image is truly ambiguous, its foreground catches the eye first."

Collages are usually 2-D, but I like playing with 3-D. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐ŸŽจ. Thought it would be cool to make a planetโ€™s rings 3-D with cardboard. ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“ฆ. Inspired by#AstronomyDay.

Coronatessellation #26

Neon! It came up a couple times today โ€” when I was watching a trivia game show & when I was learning about Frank Oโ€™Hara, an American Poet.

When it was first being introduced to people in the 1920s, they called it โ€œliquid fireโ€ in ads, which I thought was super cool & accurate. ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ”ฅ.๐Ÿ˜Ž. Then I decided to make a marquee sign that said โ€œLiquid Fireโ€. After I cut a bunch of little yellow lightbulbs ๐Ÿ’ก, it occurred to me that the lights in marquee signs are not neon lights๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ, just regular light bulbs, but they look cool as part of the design. I could have not even told you that part. ๐Ÿคฃ. 2.) Also I mentioned Warhol before, but Frank Oโ€™Hara will be featured first as part of a new series โ€œEat like the Artistโ€ - with food inspired by artists or their works (Stay tuned!) ๐Ÿ˜€

3.) I put all my coronatessellations and more notes / video links on https://wearegoodatthis.com in different galleries for easy reference. Check it out!

Do you bet on black or red? ๐Ÿค‘๐ŸŽฐ ๐ŸŽฒ โ™ฆ๏ธ โ™ ๏ธ โค๏ธโ™ฃ๏ธ Roulette came up on a trivia game show today. Invented โ€œby chanceโ€ as an article I read said (get it?!?! ๐Ÿคฃ) by Blaise Pascal, famous French physicist and mathematician back in the 17th century! He was trying to invent a perpetual motion machine โ€” a machine that could produce more energy than it used once it got started. โš™๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž โ€” and roulette was a by-product. This doesnโ€™t have perpetual motion, but it will spin a lil bit. ๐Ÿ˜€ Never used gold leaf before, but thought gold goes well with casinos and roulette. I didnโ€™t look up how to use it either, but pretty sure hot glue gun is not the typical technique. ๐Ÿคฃ. It kind of has an Ancient Egypt vibe to it. Thatโ€™s going to be another inspiration for another one. Coronatessellation#27

Coronatessellation #28

๐Ÿ’ณ๐ŸŽจ I should have bought a lotto ticket! ๐Ÿ˜Ž I was lucky today! ๐Ÿ€ I was planning to do this@hgtvhandmadepainting w/ a credit card I saw, but I didnโ€™t want to use one of my real credit cards. Not that it matters; itโ€™s paint โ€” it comes off. ๐Ÿคฃ. Anyways, I thought I could find a card like a credit card in my junk mail. But I got a new credit card today b/c one of mine was expiring! ๐Ÿ˜€ So I used the old one. I added some fabric and did some masked tape to areas, so there would be clear areas. I did this on my Easter Bunny painting too. However, here I added some splatter paint โ€” itโ€™s SO fun to do! โ€” so some of the clear white area have more texture.

Coronatessellation #29

Inspired by Andy Warhol, Frank Oโ€™Hara & Coca-Cola, which was featured in both of their work. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ Iโ€™m obsessed with Diet Coke (& Diet Mountain Dew), so I did things with Diet Coke. Do you think they would like diet soda? Probably not. ๐Ÿคฃ. This is part of my post for the new series: Art Cooking (inspired by@theartassignment). Check it out https://wearegoodatthis.com. I made this & an#ASMRvideo of watching soda fizz (on YT, wearegoodatthis1 channel) โ€” oddly satisfying! ๐ŸŽฅ ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ This is the can from the soda carton & I noticed I was only cutting out the word, โ€œokโ€ which I thought was cool. ๐Ÿ˜Ž I also just watched a YT video from@voxdotcomon the Hx of the word ok. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Coronatessellation#29.

Inspired by some of my fav Surrealist works! ๐ŸŽจ I โค๏ธ Surrealism. A lot of them are fun & funny to look at and make you think ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿง. ๐Ÿ”นThe main object is inspired by Meret Oppenheimโ€™s Object (Le Dejeuner en fourrure) which is a cup and saucer (& spoon) โ˜•๏ธcovered in fur! It came up after a conversation with Picasso in 1936. Here, the cup & saucer are covered with scraps of this faux sort of crocodile print cloth I had โ€” to represent the fur in Oppenheimโ€™s piece. ๐Ÿ”น Then, when I was making it: I thought of Rene Magritte, The Treachery of Images โ€” which is a pipe with the phrase: Cโ€™eci nโ€™est pas use pipe. (This is not a pipe โ€” but it is ๐Ÿคฃ). I thought of: โ€œI am not a cup of coffee.โ€ first instead of: โ€œThis is not a cup of coffee.โ€, but I kept it as is because itโ€™s even more surreal. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ”นInspired by this new book I got:#YouAreanArtist. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“š. Itโ€™s really good! ๐Ÿ”นUrist Green describes some surrealist works as โ€œarranged found objects in unexpected, irrational combinations,โ€ which I think also describes#coronatessellations really well! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Coronatessellation#32.




Coronatessellation #33

What do you see? I like playing with images and changing how they look.

#YouAreanArtist assignment - the book has info about lots of different artists and little projects to spur creativity. ๐Ÿ’ก You can do them over & over again with different materials etc.! ๐ŸŽจ

This contribution / assignment is from Kim Beck@idealcities, โ€œpothole enthusiastโ€ ๐Ÿคฃ as her profile says. She makes different pieces by doing crayon ๐Ÿ– or colored pencil rubbings on different surfaces like potholes or sidewalks. This would be really fun to do outside & Iโ€™ll do that sometime!

Right now, Iโ€™m inside mostly (#stayhome). ๐Ÿก I thought an interesting surface was the corrugated part of cardboard boxes. I tore off outer layer of some pieces of a cardboard box. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Harder than it looks. ๐Ÿ˜† You know built to be sturdy. Thin paper works best and I happened to have this paper insert from some mail about life insurance ๐Ÿ“ฉ, which was thinner than normal 8.5โ€ x 11โ€ paper. ๐Ÿ˜€ Then I did rubbings with different color markers. Added some Scrabble letters for fun. It didnโ€™t take me very long & was a fun outlet for creativity. It was fun and HAVE FUN! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Coronatessellation#37

๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿฆ‹ This was inspired by Itโ€™s Okay to Be Smart /@drjoehansonYT video on why the color blue is SO rare in nature! ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŸฆ๐ŸŒฑThe main butterfly is a abstract representation โ€” made from recycled foil & paint โ€” of a Blue Morpho butterfly, which happens to be the emoji! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฆ‹ The bright blue color is formed by the shape of the scale and how light reflects off of it โ€” not pigment!

A bloom of jellyfish! Can also be called a smack or swarm. When they float around, they kind of look ethereal and also like flowers, so I like calling it a bloom.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Chichen Itza, Mexico! Iโ€™m on a kick with these ancient monuments! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Made this & found cool photos & a surrealist collage! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€ I saw an article from@readersdigest about ancient monuments built around the sun since itโ€™s the solstice.โ˜€๏ธ Es El Castillo (The Castle). At the equinoxes, you can see a shadow of 7 triangles made with the staircase, which look like a snake ๐Ÿ Thatโ€™s what I represented on the top with 7 triangles.๐Ÿ”บ Also at the top of El Castillo, there is a carving of a snake symbolic of Quetzalcoatl/ Kukulcan, a major Mayan god. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ™ Whatโ€™s cool about El Castillo, is that there are 4 stair cases with 91 steps & 1 step at the top = 365! That means they knew there were 365 days in the year without modern technology! ๐Ÿค“ Another graphic I found from oncoloring.com Info:@britannica & #blogxcaret

Iโ€™ve been looking at lots of photos of nature ๐Ÿž๐ŸŒต๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿƒ. Initially, I wanted to do a collage and make it look like a nature scene, but then I just cut out interesting images. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow like the drippy trippy fruits and leaves. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŠ๐ŸƒCoronatessellation#74.

๐Ÿด๐Ÿ—ฃ๐ŸŽต โ€œA horse is a horse of course of course. And no one can talk to a horse of course. That is of course unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed!โ€ ๐Ÿคฃ I used to watch Nick at Nite which had TV shows from the 50s & 60s (like Mister Ed) when I was really little. I probably watched them more than my parents did growing up. This@gucciad was funny and reminded me of Mister Ed. I recycled some bubble wrap & used it to paint the edges in a mixed greenish yellow mottled look. โ™ป๏ธ ๐ŸŽจ Coronatessellation#75. Post created with gogobox app.

I wanted to do this@cecilemclorinsalvant #theartassignment for awhile (sheโ€™s a Grammy Award winning jazz artist & visual artist btw ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽจ) for awhile, but the assignment was to#1draw outlines of human figures (๐Ÿ‘คโœ”๏ธ no problem ๐Ÿ˜Ž) &#2make a mobile or a piece that hangs in the air...Hmmm ๐Ÿค” I am working with a piece of paper. So I couldnโ€™t figure out how to make it work...until today! ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŽจ I used hot glue and a cord to give structure to the piece, which gives the illusion of movement like a mobile.

Sacajawea! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ˜€ I saw a cool @weirdhistory video about the Lewis & Clark Expedition and of course, she was featured. Something cool about the expedition was that because they were in the Louisiana Purchase (technically not the US) they didnโ€™t have to abide by US law and they decided it should be egalitarian. So Sacagawea got a vote & was a leader and York who was a slave in the US also got a vote and was a leader. ๐Ÿ”น This was in 1804 โ€” decades before the abolition of slavery or womenโ€™s suffrage. ๐Ÿ”น I thought of it because today is#CanoeDayand Sacajawea actually saved a lot of the artifacts and journals from the expedition that we have today and itโ€™s related to a boat or canoe. One of the boats (canoe? ๐Ÿ˜†) ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™€๏ธ capsized. She calmly swam and collected them all and with a baby on her back. I did an artistic interpretation of the stamp she is featured on and placed it on the corner of an envelope. I used scraps of string to make her hair. They werenโ€™t black so I colored them black with a marker. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’Œ๐Ÿ“ฌ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Btw sheโ€™s also featured on the Sacajawea dollar. Additional info:@britannica. Coronatessellation#79.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Marble Painting inspired by Bolivian terrain. I saw this really cool aerial photo of Bolivia from#Carolynon@pexels. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ“ธ At first, I couldnโ€™t tell what it was. ๐Ÿ˜† I thought it was cloth or a textile, but if you look closely you can see little trees. I decided to use marbles to create some of the lighter areas. BUT when you work with marbles, you canโ€™t control them and so a little more than the actual photo. I knew this going in, but itโ€™s so fun to paint with marbles! ๐Ÿ˜Ž I also used marbles on Coronatessellation#31. I also used string technique to do an interpretation of the curved area. I got that from different acrylic painting videos and also from a video of a cake I saw on@chefclub. Coronatessellation#80. Post created with gogobox app.

ou did not fall down a rabbit hole! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿ•ณ ๐Ÿคฃ I never got to use Polaroid cameras in real life (before my time), but I always thought they looked really cool and artsy. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽจ. I got an Instax from@fujifilm_instax_northamericawhich can print photos from my phone like itโ€™s a Polaroid camera! Itโ€™s so fun to have a tangible photo instantly! Even this photo of a lemon I took ๐Ÿ‹ ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ looks super cool. Iโ€™ve seen some other photos where people took a photograph of a Polaroid in the location and the photo of a photo looked really cool! I decided to play around with it during my daily walk. As I mentioned for Coronatessellation#54, I take photos in the same place every day during my walk. I used the gogobox app to crop and make adjustments and then printed them on my Instax. The first one is zoomed in using gogobox app.#2#2is actual size, but I thought zoomed in one looked best to get the rabbit hole effect, so I put it first. ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‡ ๐Ÿ•ณ ๐Ÿคฃ.

Masking tape and paint! ๐ŸŽจ A mistake made it better too. ๐Ÿคฃ I just saw a cool@art_serenaYT video on painting windows with tape so I did an interpretation of it with different shapes. When I was going to add some orange to an unpainted area, some dropped on the other already painted areas ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ, so I added more on other areas. I think it made the painting better anyways. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ.Itโ€™s SO much fun and SO rewarding to take off the tape and see what is revealed. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ–ผ Coronatessellation#83.

A mini-attempt at quilling โ€” rolled paper. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Iโ€™ve seen some videos on it. There is special paper and special tools, but I just made strips from some scrap paper.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Nabta Playa! Stonehenge is the most famous megalith (prehistoric monument made of stone) but Nabta Playa is the oldest! Itโ€™s around 7,000 years old and in Egypt. They used it to tell the seasons by looking at the stars and sun. They were probably the first human astronomers. ๐ŸŒŸ if you notice some of the stones are in different lines. โž– If you ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ right I, you can see it with shadows and how they might have used these stones as a calendar by measuring the shadows. ๐Ÿ“…๐Ÿ‘ค๐ŸŒžThey also probably used the stones in alignment with the stars during different parts of the year. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซ There is another photo: groundโ€™s eye view.

Stag Beetle! I think. ๐Ÿคฃ. Iโ€™m not an entomologist, but I did memorize a bunch of bugs ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ•ท not that long ago.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Aerial View of mini Cocoa Beach, Florida ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ˜Ž I like aerial / drone photography because it is beautiful and a view we canโ€™t see from the ground.

Art from the sidewalk! ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ This is based on a shadow of plants on the sidewalk by my building.

Bokeh or the blurry unfocused part of photograph ๐Ÿ“ธ is beautiful to me as I mentioned in Coronatessellation #66. We usually pay attention to the focal point, but not the background. It usually reminds me of Impressionist paintings and this part of photograph ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ“ธ from #memyselfaneye / @pixabay with colorful spherical flowers definitely did. Both the focal point and non focal point (which I painted ๐ŸŽจ) were interesting. ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Interestingly, some of the most famous Impressionist paintings by Monet and the ones that link Impressionism to modern abstract art were from when he had cataracts. ๐Ÿ–ผ He actually saw the world as blurry! ๐Ÿ‘ So it wasnโ€™t a deficiency, it gave him a different perspective on the world.
