Inspiration

A friend of my husband saw my work and then went home. A few days later he sent me the following link. I want to use some of these images as inspiration for my work. Check it out and tell me which are your favorites.   http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/703154main_earth_art-ebook.pdf
Enjoy these beautiful images.

The Wave, The Ocean

I have discovered a way to make my own templates so that I can control the way the paper is pushed away from my printing surface. This template is one large spiral. See more of my art at:

Step by Step. Beach Stones

Sometimes inspiration comes at the oddest times. The inspiration for this series came while I was in the bathroom looking at my bath mat. 'Hmmm', says I, ' I wonder what would happen if...' So I took the bath mat into my studio and here is a series of photos of what evolved.

 

Here is the raw print created by the mat.                   I next went over the print with water and a brush
                                                                                  and removed some of the pigment from the stones.

The paint is removed. I then went                                   Here, on the left, you can see the stones             back and erased more pigment.                                        emerging. This took hours before I could
                                                                                         begin to draw into the print.
