Wax rubbings cont

 Wax rubbings taken at Mary Magdalene at Hucknall. I love this part, the reveal! When making wax rubbings, white on white, its difficult to see how its going to look, apart from a slight sheen of wax on the paper you are working blind. Trying out different consistency of ink this time around, watering it down to create subtle pastel shades, i think the soft pinks and blues are a nice contrast to the hard grey stones they are taken from, the transformation I was looking for!



the darks ink reflect the gothic language of the original stones


Here ive picked out a sunrise design and combined with the words from a different stone " spirits up"
i love the soft pink and the way it is transformed from its source.



sea colours over this scale design give me under water mermaid vibes


"daughter" in yellow, sunshine, emotive words in positive colours

always got to do your own name!

really like this combination of word and image, flutter and a wing like image


The full bounty from st marys

these are the illustrator inks I'm using in the process
