Thanks so much Rashmi! And I love both mandala art and also giving art as a gift. It really is much more heartfelt when you have made it.
All the best for a creative and successful 2022!
Best, Kristen

Well, the words you said initially about new year, completely relate with my thoughts. Not able to travel much is THE MOST PAINFUL THING for me as well. Still, am compensating the wanderlust with small outings, nearby treks etc.

On creative front, I learned dot-art (one kind of Mandala art) on bottles. Few videos on internet and I got the feel of it. Made at least 25-26 bottles and gifted to friends and family on different occasions. Happy faces! 🙂 Will share a few articles’ pictures over mail.

So thanks and stay in touch. Happy designing! Cheers to 2022!

Hi Olivier and thanks! I too had misgivings, especially about NFTs being such energy hogs. The good news is that the technologies used to create, mint, and secure them are becoming more efficient day by day, week by week. I also only made my NFT experiments using the “lower gas” and more eco-friendly Polygon network instead of Etherium. I told my husband this but he looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Which I guess I am. 😀 Still learning and researching. As for the Metaverse…it currently feels like a newborn. It has loads of potential, but can’t hold its own head up yet. I say give it a few more years. Cheers and happy 2022
