I have gone for a take on her Lino cuts as I have already done a still life and a portrait.
I have a metal stamp of a fish which I have never used so I have incorporated it in with the 'waves' she has used.
The stamp.
My inspiration.
My Piece.
My background is a piece of my own indigo dyed fabric and I traced an enlarged shape of the fish and sketched the waves in. I then used black paint and pens to create my own patterns within the fish and to outline the waves.
I would have loved to have done a proper lino cut but time just was not on my side. Maybe one day!
I just love what you have done. That fish with his decorative scales fits right in there with those 'Munter' waves. It is very lino-cut-ish. Hilary
ReplyDeleteJust my thing, being a Pisces. Just love the fish, waves and the colour.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing. I love it. You have combined artist inspiration with your own vision and used a new toy to great effect!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - this is incredible! I love it. Firstly what a fabuolous metal 'stamp' but how you have used it is also wonderful, and so fitting to follow on from Munter's work. Congratulations Helena - I love your piece!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very striking design Phil . I like the emphasis with the black paint and pen on the waves and fish . Makes these elements stand out more than they would with just thread . I think it is a great interpretation .
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great piece of work and you have interpreted the piece you chose beautifully. This is really impressive.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Phil! A great idea to combine the two ideas and it's so well executed! Your stitching is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your piece and I envy you that stamp!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did!
