Having discovered that I collect owl paraphernalia as a hobby, a friend of mine carved an owl from a rubber eraser for me to use as a "mood stamp" on my etegami. Instead, I've been having loads of fun experimenting with it as the focal image of my etegami, trying it out against a variety of backgrounds. I've posted several examples here that share the same accompanying haiku by Santoka for easier comparison. In the spirit of even more experimentation, I used inks and methods that were completely new to me. All the originals have been mailed off to postcrossers.

This quote will resonate with a lot of people and goes perfectly with the owl stamp and somewhat mysterious backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gift! I like seeing your experimentations. They're all beautiful, but I'm rather partial to the last one.
ReplyDeleteI am partial to the second to the last one; very dramatic with those vertical lines!
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely, my favourite is the top one! The owl stamp is wonderful!

ReplyDelete使いすぎて、ふくろうの目玉が一つ落ちてしまいました。(しくしく)後からペンで入れれば済むことだけど、ふくろうがカワイソウ。
DeleteVery nice and fun exercise! I like the second from last best.
ReplyDeleteでびーさんへ
ReplyDelete昨日、日本から帰ってきました。
長かったですー。pcは、事情であけられず、教やっとあけました。しばらくみないうちに、すごいことになっているので、びっくりしましたよ。アイデア満載ですね。どれもとてもすてき。
楽しくなけれりゃ!ってかんじがよくつたわるわー。
もう、50日も描いてなかったので、手がぶるぶるしてます。
デビーさんのは、ひとにやるき起こさせるパワーがばんばんでてます。
