Carved Rubber

Happy spring! The blooming trees inspired me and I decided to try a carving a flowering tree image. This is the next step in the book I've written about, Finding Your Own Visual Language book by Jane Dunnewold. She suggests carving stamps to use for future projects in the book.

I've been trying to let go of making images for specific purpose and just carve stamps for the fun of it. Most of the images I made are much more abstract. As I look at them again; however, they look somewhat like an aerial view of the Willamette Vally - fields and farm roads. My environment is definitely an influence on my work!

Forgot to tell you that there is a yahoo group dedicated to working through this book. Can't tell you more than that because you have to own the book to join, and I haven't purchased it yet.
