Carved Flower Part One • May Flower Challenge • Day Nine
Turned paper over to see flower drawing in order to trace.
The carving begins. |
As you can see below it turned out to be a nice graphic, strong and bold. I love the look, a lovely surprise.
I have inked up the block to see what more is needed to be cut away from the block.
I will run some test prints to help find uneven spots.
The carved block looks great in its raw form, there is a primitive feel to the carving.
I will start printing tomorrow.

So much fun! I can't wait to work on a new stamp this weekend. Also, I need to do a little refining to the flower I carved a few months ago and then I think I will print in my sketchbook a little.
