The Elusive @Sheleeart Pleat! One More Try!!

Hello! Welcome if you're new and Welcome Back if you're a returning viewer! When I'm challenged, I don't throw in the towel easily. I gather all my positive energy and give it my best shot. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to try another day. That's not today! I knew I could do a Sheleeart pleat because I've done 2 previously that did come out right. Failing a dozen times doesn't mean you can't eventually gather enough knowledge and experience to succeed, which is where I was. That is the wonder and excitement of fluid art, in essence: doing a technique over and over until you can do it successfully. I love the bloom technique, partly because of all the different directions you can wander off to. This certainly is a very challenging one!
Thank you so much for being here and watching my adventures in paint( along with a few other things)! You are genuinely appreciated ❤️
My pillow is PPG Multipro white eggshell.
My colors are Amsterdam Azo Yellow, Pthalo Blue, Turquoise and Red Violet. My pigments are pearlx blue/green shift, a custom mix of Arteza raspberry, strawberry, magenta and a couple drops of Golden quinacridone nickel azo gold and a deep greenish blue mix that I can't remember what I added into🤷‍♀️(all Arteza)
My cell activator is Amsterdam titanium white in Australian floetrol.
Both of my palette knives used were from Michael's. My canvas is an 8" from Hobby Lobby.
My spinner is a marble one I found at TJMaxx a long time ago, it's 12" in diameter. I have a basic Wilton silicone round on top of it to improve grip and a 12" diameter silicone tray mold with 1/2" sides.

Nice pleats!!! If you use a skewer or stick to fill in the dots before you spin it gets rid of them, but they work in this one! Love how the lacing came out and the pleats are so good! It dried perfectly!
