WHat a funny coincidence... I just buy a tea ball. A teapot of glass with a middle part who let very well infuse! I innaugurate it now with Masala Chai with real spice and leafes of black tea and i find that image to go with that taste of India!
It's a wonderfull work! It give the impression to be connected with a spiritual soul! Impressive fine detail, complex with repetitionof a self totem!

H Otto,
You probable know that I am very fond on this type of work
The symmetrical build and colours are very good
Some how I expected a light double print in it
But it is fine this way

very nice work and mirroir

Superb PP work Otto. The parchment shows up well as does your creativity. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘North Esk Reflections’. It is such a pity that this island has no passenger service anymore except for a couple of tourist loops. With a major upgrade they could make a few dollars in tourist trips. I loved the old steam trains :)

Oh boy, talk about a bad nightmare.
Excellent.
Brings me back to the 70's :-).

Hi Otto,
This reminds me of the old batic (spelling?) we used to do back in the 60's ( took a white fabric, painted it with hot wax, then dyed it, repeat over and over, then once dried dip it in gasoline to remove the wax and wash it , ended up with a fabric looking very muc like this. What a neat effect. Sounds like it was alot of work! TFS

Hello Otto,

I remember, while child I used to do such things by putting colors on paper, fold it and create such beautiful images.

Great PP done here. Nice blast of colors and abstract. TFS
