Preview and Play

Here I started this piece last week. It is not finished yet. I'm doing some hand stitching now and will show you when I'm finished.


Last night I sat down to carve a leaf stamp for an idea I had for another piece. You can see it here on the right. I couldn't stop at just one. I turned the stamp over and carved the back side as well. Same leaf shape, but different design. Then I did another one with both sides.


Then I kept playing and thought to myself, "What if I did both sides with some pre-planned design in mind that I could stamp on top of itself?" I tried a couple of those. I particularly like the one below.
