Making art or not...

I haven't made any art in a long time. My spare time has been spent trying to get my website up. I have almost the whole thing done except for the shopping cart. Here it seems I have hit a brick wall. MySQL, PHP and CSS seem to be a bit more than I can swallow right now and I have spent my budget on books to learn MySQL, PHP and CSS so unless I can find someone to trade with me, my selling of any artwork is still behind the brick wall.
Finally I just gave up and started making art again. I have so much fun doing it. I feel like it is almost an addiction. Once I get into the mode I don't want to stop until I have finished a piece. I burned the dinner tonight while working on this and my daughter just gave up and fixed her own.
This mandala borrows from an Arabesque Tile. Does anyone have any ideas for a name? Does anyone know of a web person who would trade artwork for crafting a shopping cart?

this piece moves me. Literally…it's art in motion. The colors are so grounding too. Nice.
Yes, the colors! The colors are so beautiful! No wonder you forgot the dinner. Sorry I don't know anyone who can make carts, but I want to USE a cart someday on your website. Suggest a name? No God but God (sort of an Arabesque)
I'm back. was staring at it again. I agree with maze. It DOES move! It's magical
How did you do that? It is soooooo beautiful. I think Martha named it already - Arabesque.
(a ballet move/position as I recall). Hope you get what you need to get started selling your works of art. I'm going to start saving up for one right now.
This piece is wonderful. I am so sorry I didn't see you in Idaho. I briefly considered an extra week so I could do the extra side trip, but my family had had enough of me. Can you integrate a pay pal shopping cart into your site. It may be easy to do, and work in the mean time, until something you prefer can manifest.
Thank you so much. I am very fortunate to have such good friends.
Janine,
This is absolutely magical. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible beauty.
I'm also looking forward to using the shopping cart when you're ready.
A list of my title brainstormings so far is as follows:
-eternal map of the breath
-mindscape
-carpet of dreams
-arabian lid flicks
At this point I am liking arabian lid flicks, lid flicks being what a person sees when they have their eyes closed.
