Photographic Gemstone Mandalas - Fine Art Abstract Macro Kaleidoscope

As those of you who know me has probably realized at this point, Digital Art is one of my biggest passions in life :) and especially part of making gemstone mandalas. Even my signature avatar is a tiny version of one of my mandalas. So I thought I will post one that is missing here on my blog - Amethyst Radiance.

The origin for this Mandala is a macro shot of gorgeous faceted Amethyst gemstone that I used in one of my jewelry designs - earrings Niolle

and here is the whole collection of my mandalas so far :)

Autumnal Equinox - photographic Mandala - Digital Art Abstract Citrine Gemstone Macro Kaleidoscope print

It has been ages since I made a new mandala/kaleidoscope piece, and I really missed it :) So when I’ve read about this weeks challenge theme - Fall is coming! (chosen by Sumiko). I knew it was my chance! I’ve had this wonderful macro shot of Golden Citrine Faceted Cubes 

and I had a feeling it would be perfect for a mandala, I just needed the excuse to sit down and make it :) and ta da... a new mandala is born - Autumnal Equinox.

New collection - Modern Handforged Sterling Silver Leaf Hooks earrings with high quality Gemstones

Sometimes all you need is a simple piece of jewelry with a touch of sparkle to make you look gorgeous. My new collection is just about that! Simple, elegant, organic design with striking gemstones that you can wear anywhere!

The earrings are made of sparkling beauties with superb clarity and gorgeous faceting which catch the light with tons of sparkle. The gems hang on hand forged, lightly hammered and polished sterling silver ear wires formed as leaves, made by yours truly of course :)

Craft your favorite quote! - weekly challenge

Last week’s theme was - Craft your favorite quote! …the craft doesn't have to include the actual quote, just be inspired by it...picked by DinDi.

I chose my favorite Albert Einstein's quote - "Two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the Universe." :)

The quote gave me an idea to make a focal in the necklace shaped as an ancient "Infinity" symbol.
