Breath of fresh art

I love spirals. Their symbolic meaning is also really cool. The cross-section of an ammonite fossil, like the nautilus shell makes a beautiful spiral design.  I drew a pastel picture using more natural colours and played with lines and curves.  Then I used this as a preliminary drawing to do a large acrylic painting, using bright mostly warm colours.                                                           Here is the end result.

It's easy to make a buff with an old T-shirt Use a darning needle to neaten threads. Once the old T-shirt has been cut apart at the seems, you're left with two rectangular-ish pieces. Stitch the sides to make a tube and trim the shoulder bits off. You can leave this edge raw. T-shirt material doesn't fray easily. If you prefer you can overlock or hem the cut off side. The bottom of the T-shirt forms a ready made hem on the other side of the tube.
