Spring is Coming

Usually I would be working on the cuts on Sunday but not today!

I worked too hard on a cut last night that my neck, shoulders and fingers are still in ache. I'm putting my feet up and have a cuppa at my wild backyard.

Lo and behold, when did all these little daisies came out?  I think Spring is on the way!

The Cutting Board

Finished this cut at 2:00 am last night (or very early this morning) ...

My fingers and arms were aching.  My back was hurting like hell!  But it's worth all the pains and the hours I put in.

The board is created from my fascination of marine animals and plants.  I reckon they have the most amazing looks and structure.

It takes hours to go through the tentacles (??) of the jellyfishes, I mean both in drawing and cutting, but I love every bits of it.

I hope you all enjoy this cut.

On the side, after years of lusting and looking at pictures of professional artist storage place for papers and artwork, I finally got these beautiful drawing cabinets!  They made me feel so (ahem) "professional", hahaha!

I also like this positive cut of the skull with hanging plants.  Just on its own, it has the power to draw the viewer in and have the viewer imagining what the skull looks like.  Or in my case, I have a different reaction to the cut.  I feel like the animal is staring right at me ... as if it's asking me for something.

That's about it for now.  Have a nice weekend!  xxoo

The Cutting Board

Making this board is fun as there is no rules.  The assemble is done at the spur of the moment.
