I decided to do another little piece for the Botanical Hearts series I started back in February. I'm not all that happy with the center part, but I like how the rind edges turned out. But that's what's fun about doing these little hearts—they're kind of like swatches or samples, experimenting with new textures, etc. I might give this one another try.
I also think that my scanning is not showing the paper texture very well, so for fun, I took a quick shot with my iPhone. Obviously, it's unevenly lit, but I like it better. I've got to practice shooting my work with a camera. I have a cool copystand and everything...sounds like a summer project!
Here are the other ones I have so far:
I love this series! Are you planning to sell prints of them eventually?
ReplyDeleteI agree about the iphone pic. It seems to push the texture a little more. This is a wonderful series! I just LOVE them

Lovely series. I'm always uncertain about scanning vs photo's - of course there's some artwork that will not scan at all - but my photography is a bit variable.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteI love your hearts. They are very clever and fun ideas. They look so real. Imagine if fruits and vegetables were really shaped that way... Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love it....a set of prints or cards would be great!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteYou can see the texture way better with the iPhone picture. How many hearts are you planning on making?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always :)
ReplyDeleteFun project, and beautifully done. Definitely would make great note cards!
ReplyDeletelove them,beautiful images :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat series. It shows off your style and talent so well and the hearts are beautiful and sweet. I agree with you about scanners; my scans lose the paper texture too, or show it TOO much. Learning to shoot art with a camera sounds like a great project!
