Diatomaceous Confetti

Diatom Doodles

Reflection

Meaning: This is the foundation of my art. It’s the ingredient that helps smooth things out and can be used to cleanse. It’s ancient in my lore and comes in all sorts of shapes and patterns.

Already partly there...
I think my doodles already resemble diatoms pretty well, so it probably won’t be hard to make them look alike.

Planning Notes

Progress Notes

4/23/2026 - I started, and it looks cool, but now I’m thinking I want to make it seem like diatomaceous earth (thus the name of the piece). Problem is I already started…will I be able to change it fine?
I’ll probably be able to change it fine.
4/25/26 - I accidentally got some tempura paint from my The Us project onto the doodle side. It’s the only slip up I made so I’m at least happy about that fact. So now it’s time to figure out how to cover it it. I have ideas though.
