#tdc5327 #ds106 #dailycreate Mandala Madness
https://daily.ds106.us/tdc5327/Mandala flickr photo by mag3737 shared under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 2.0) license
Mandala designs — a sort of mirrored gathering of lines in circular patterns — are interesting and rather relaxing to create and to view. Use the Mandala Maker (or some other site or draw one on paper) and share out your artwork.

#tdc5320 #ds106 #dailycreate What other Stranger Things are there in the world?
https://daily.ds106.us/tdc5320/Have you watched Stranger Things on Netflix? Even if you haven’t, imagine just how strange the world can get.
Then write a story or create an image, or a soundtrack, or a video, of the Stranger Things you imagine. We won’t judge. Too much.
Special Bonus Points for using the 1980s as your model of inspiration. The Fan wiki might help too.
