52 Weeks of Print: 20/52
I've found a happy place in sketching plants. Not sure how long this ride will last.
But I'm loving the process and the outcome, so on I go.
This is a sketch of Valerian. And beside the original image,
"...a relaxing tonic at bedtime."
Then I decided to add it's name. I've carved words before and, let me tell you, it's not that easy to carve using a soft surface. One nick and it's goodbye work. This word wasn't a make or break piece so I went for it and no nicks. Whew.

Oh my goodness, I love this one, Lori!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks especially wonderful on the muslin.
Beautifully done!
Thank you, Lisa! I think it's my favorite so far. But I'm pretty sure I've said that. :)
DeleteI'm Loving it L. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine carving and writing backwards, I have enough trouble going in the right direction, lol :)
Hope you are having a wonderful Monday, cheers, T.:)
Oh, Teresa, nor could I! I draw my work onto tracing paper with a pencil then turn it over onto the carving block, rub it lightly to transfer the design and that makes it backward. Then I just carve. Makes my brain handle the situation a lot better than the alternative.
DeleteI can't imagine how difficult it must be to carve like that! Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith! It's called mediation. ;-)
DeleteI'm seriously in love with this one ! You've outdone yourself !!! oxox
