so then I carved some stamps

The land-forms I showed you in the last post sent me spiraling off on several tangents.  I'll explain the full scope in more detail later. I really love the organized plots of vegetation, especially the ones that are benefiting from the circular watering system.  I also love when the orderly latitudes and longitudes are interrupted by organic terrain, like a stream or rock formation.  To investigate this topic further, and to see how it might influence or appear in my work, I needed some new tools.  So I carved some stamps. Working off two different sizes of a grid, I cut many blocks then began carving patterns.

    Whatever speaks to us, no theme ignored. I love seeing the stamps, art in their own right, as much as what you stamp with them. I was telling Lisa the other day that my stamp-carving materials are under my bed. It may be time to pull them out. These are wonderful. I love the way you do nothing by half-measures. xo
