Art Every Day Five • Not Quite Done Yet......More Birds

I am participating in Art Everyday Month. I have joined a group of creative people committing themselves to more creativity for the month of November.

I have more artwork to share today. For day five I made more bird prints and played with pattern using the same bird motif. I love it when a motif continues to surprise.

Stop by Leah's website, Creative Every Day and check out fellow artist and their creations for Art Every Day Month.

Thank you for stopping by.

Beauty from Scraps

A happy design accident happened as I carved a floral stamp with my favorite five petal motif. I wanted a permanent stamp of the flower found on my marketing pieces.

As I carved and then cut away the edges, the grooves on the stamp intrigued me.

I thought they would make a cool design. I took my ink and paints out and decided to see what I could make with the off cuts. I was pleasantly surprised.

I created the Modern Sunflower pictured above.

Now when I carve I plan to file the off cuts for future design fun as opposed to throwing them away.
