The Three Muses - Art in the Round!

*Please enlarge to see full effects*
Our art this week had to feature circles, whether it be in a circle, on a circle like an altered CD or about circles, I went around in circles trying to work out what to do! Then I had a brilliant idea, what about a mandala! Fumbling my way through PSE6 I manage to create the above from small advertisement for the Tour de France, but I did get some help from www.moderngypsy.com/green/mandala/
As mentioned I used a magazine picture, created the mandala then used the 'difference clouds' filter to produce the final effect, making the bike riders in their helmets look like wheel spokes!

  1. Judy - I think you should add a note to your entry about enlarging the image because the larger version is truly magnificent and it shows all the small details in greater light.
    I love your mandala. The colours are amazing and the whole effect is fantastic.
