So my initial idea for the nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m April art challenge of Celebrating Cycles was to create a Möbius strip with art representing the seasons on both sides, then cut it in half, because that’s the cool part of a Möbius strip.

Except I really like this one side as is. I want to keep it as is, to remember what I learn while creating it. And it still fits and completes the monthly challenge for me.

So here it is, in its final form ….

This is an 18” x 2” (45.72 cm x 5.08 cm) strip of rice paper. Actually two strips of rice paper glued together, because I was going to art the other side.

Art supplies used: Distress Inks, archival ink, stamps, watercolor, 2B pencil, white Posca pen pen, metallic Sharpie pens, white acrylic paint, a failed attempt at using texture paste, Stabilo pens which are Definitely Not waterproof, a 005 Micron pen, ruler, French curves, and an MB Pigma pen which is Definitely waterproof…. and that’s why most of the art I create is called mixed media (AKA anything goes). 😁

PS. If anyone else needs permission to stop a project you’ve created for yourself because you like where you are, this is it. ✅🏁👍
