A while ago I posted about stamp carving. Well I am still at it. I have carved leaves and grasses and fishes and designs which I have been using in my art work. But still my favorite is the eye. It was one of the first things that I carved, I got to use it today for the Wednesday Stampers theme for this week, which is Eye.
Just stunning piece of artwork, love it. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully soft artwork!
ReplyDeleteThe eye is selfmade? Wow, looks very professional!
ReplyDeleteA beautifully balanced piece, I love all the patterns, they work so well together.
ReplyDeleteWow, this piece is really original; love all the elements. I love seeing how you have combined everything and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteFascinating!!! I have yet to try my hand at stamp carving--you are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I love the combination of all those mediums. The awesome eye stamp, your sketch of a hand, paint techniques and the photographs all tied together by three little stars. Love it! & is that little Shona (the budding star:)
