Description:

Use google and wikipedia to learn a little bit about the mystical, fabulous Fibonacci numbers. These are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and etc. There is Fibonacci art, Fibonacci poems, and who knows what all else!

Then watch a Vi Hart video here which inspires the idea of mandalas, like the bottom of a pine cone. You can get lost in Vi Hart's mathematical wonders, like her hexaflexagons, but don't get lost. Stay focused.

Use the Fibonacci numbers and the mandala idea to create a piece of art to send to your partner. Use at least three colors plus black to make your work of art. Size must be larger than an ATC.

Send the art plus a little note to your partner. It can be sent naked or in an envelope.

All welcome with reasonable ratings. I will angel if needed.

Does the art necessarily need to be a mandala... Or could it just be inspired by the mandala idea? Also, any size requirements?

Inspired by Fibonacci and mandala ideas, but not necessarily a mandala. Size is larger than an ATC. Larger than 2+1⁄2 by 3+1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm).

It's a lot harder than I thought it would be to make a Fibonacci mandala!

I agree, I have made many sketches! I think I will be able to begin soon. I'm in the newbie 5 swap waiting period, but I'll join as soon as I get some more ratings and make my mandala.

I think I have this now. HOpe my partner won't be too hard on me. Very interesting though.

very interesting. Not sure if I fit the requirements yet. Hopefully I can be in a swap related to this another time.

I agree -- I am a bit busy during the time frame but would love to do this if there is a round 2!
