I haven't done a still life in a while, so decided to sit down and explore stone to wood texture on the various beads and talismans. As on my other piece "Early One Morn," the original bears the crimson chop of "Hong Fei Long" underneath the signature.

Thanks, Andrew! I do enjoy mixing things up a bit and see what comes of it. Sometimes it works, and well, frankly, when it doesn't, they go into a box!

Thanks Fred! A New Year right around the corner!

I never really leave DA, just take vacations now and again, however, it is good to share new work that I've been doing this past fall and winter! A few more pieces to go. This one was a lot of fun because of the variety of textures together. I really like how the stone work came out on the large beads. It also gave me a chance to explore line weight to help separate elements. All in all, a good excessive!

Hope the vacation was resourcing then ^^
I find the line weight quite hard to master. Yours is definitely a reference to keep at my side
And I also thank you for that

Thanks, Dagger! Out of the three inks, I think this one is my favorite, even though all three have elements that I like in each. Great practice, nonetheless.

Thanks, Rachael! These last three deviations have been fun to explore different texture lines for different environments. Some work great, and others, ummmm, not so well.
