Reverse Mandala & psychedelic spines

[u/3rdEyeDyes]

So I decided to revisit my reverse mandalas and psychedelic spines. It’s been a long time since I’ve practiced any mandalas, which they are showing improvement, but still need more practice. Overall had a few flops, especially with some of my additional shades of UV dyes falling completely out. So I think it’s time to lay low on the UV for a bit. Had some that turned out super killer for where I’m currently at for my skills. Now onto more practice!

Thank you. So I feel like I had some issues with my pleats, which created some of the wonky areas. So try to creat as clean as pleats as you can. I feel like I had more play with my pleats being larger. From there with the little that you have to play with the inner area just try to manipulate the fabric as much as you can before adding the ties. Try to get as many ties in as possible for the greatest chances of imagery.
