I was a little late checking the new Craft Barn alpha/dictionary challenge today, what with the clocks going forward in the UK today, and losing an hour's sleep!! Summer Time - well, can we have some summer weather now please??? ! I woke to frost, although to be fair, the sun was shining too!
My perusal of my dictionary brought me to REFLECTION. I knew that I could go all deep and meaningful, but wasn't sure how to interpret that, so set about searching for my mirror image stamp and some reflected images.
The mirror image stamp is simply a block of solid rubber, that you stamp your image onto, before stamping it on your piece of art, thereby reversing the image.I have had it years, rarely used it and had to rummage hard to find it in amongst the drawers of stamps... So, here are some reflected mirror images - I chose stamps that work particularly well for this technique.
Oooh great word and great interpretation of it, love your mirror images especially the hand and of course your fab choice of background colour!!!

love this helen..the reverse stamping is a great idea, didn't know you could get such a thing!! great page!!
ReplyDeleteSuper page and thanks for explaining the reflection stamp. I guess some of the plain lino tile I used to carve my stamp would work for this technique too. It is a great technique and works so well for your word. BJ
ReplyDeleteOoh... fabulous page! And I love the sound of the mirror image stamp - how cool!
