Hello Crafty Peeps,
Summer is finally upon us and the sun is shining after all the rain we've had lately. It's a great time to get out and exercise, which brings me to this week's theme at The Paper Shelter - Let's Get Physical.
I've been going to hot yoga since October, so I chose four of the yoga pose images for my project this week. I was going to make a card, but I changed my mind and made a decorative cube instead.
The images used are: 'Triangle - Trikonasana', 'Crow - Bakasana', 'Tree - Vrikshasana' and 'Lotus - Padmasana'.
I was originally going to have a regular bow on top, but I was fiddling with ideas and decided I liked having all of the colours from the images.
I chose to do each image monochromatic, based on one of the chakra colours that the move represents.
Crow (Bakasana) - Dark Blue/Indigo - Third Eye
Tree (Vrikshasana) - Red - Root
(Lotus - Padmasana) - Violet/White - Crown
Triangle - Trikonasana - Orange - Sacral
The symbol for each chakra is a lotus with a differing numbers of petals. This website has a pretty good explanation. I think the symbols alone would make for beautiful card toppers and other crafts!
Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!
