Art Every Day Three • Birds, Birds and 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 am inspired by nature in my work and I love our winged friends for their fabulous shapes, colors and overall beauty. Here is a peek at some of my favorite books with beautiful bird artwork. 

I find myself on day three of Making Art Every Day. I don't usually blog on the weekends so a finished piece is in the "making stages". I am revisiting carving a block for some printing. I had some bird motifs that I worked on back in August. I always thought that these birds would make great stamps. I have chosen to work on two for now. I sketched directly onto the block. I will get to the carving tomorrow with tools at the ready. See you then.

Word Paths have  been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog. You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

As we all get ready to vote next Tuesday I was inspired to create another stamped project but with letters this time and the all important word VOTE. I used a flower stamp that I made a while back, it is a favorite and you can see that post here. 

Here are what I call my test scraps. So pleased with my final artwork, I made it today's Word Path.

Art Every Day Month • Day One

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. 

This afternoon I started out with some printmaking for Day One using a carved block. 

I drew my design directly on to the rubber carving block and started to cut. 

 I did change my design a bit as I went along. I used my craft paper to test the block print design.
