Goddess of Music (check the largest size)

An organization in India asked that I make this for them. Nothing used to create the image but the sheet music. It flows like poetry. The background matches the color of the sheet music more closely than represented here, so the notes really jump out in person. This is my favorite kind of project. .. this music was taken from "One Heart, One Mind" by Johann Strauss.

    I only used one page of sheet music, maybe a little more... I try to be as conservative as possible. Thanks!! I hope I get to do more of these, they are so incredible in person, I love the textures of the paper.

    Thanks! I don't know the first thing about music, so I just look at the symbols and try to see what shapes are the most beautiful, but I try to preserve the notes, the "data," so someone who does know music can still read bits. Love your work too! We are on the same wavelength!
