Members Mattmatt Posted October 17, 2008 Members Report Posted October 17, 2008 This is my first post to show my work. I consider myself to be an amateur but trying hard. I welcome any comments or suggestions. Most of my work is wrist bands and such due to I work out of the scrap pile. Quote
Members wildrose Posted October 17, 2008 Members Report Posted October 17, 2008 Good job! I like your use of geometric stamping. It's a really neat pattern! Quote
Ambassador abn Posted October 17, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted October 17, 2008 I think that wristband's mighty nice. I really like the color and the stamped pattern. I'm not much for carving myself, but I'm a big fan of a thoughtfully stamped design. Two thumbs up in my book! Keep 'em coming! Best, -Alex Quote

Pip Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Lovely job mattmatt, Pattern is very tidy, colour is nice and rich, i'd wear it with pride! I too work out of scrap piles for the moment, its more difficulthtan you think well done, bud Quote
TomSwede Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Looking very good Mattmatt! The stamps line up well, edges are nice and smooth, you caught on to the idea of having a border to keep it all together and the colouring is great. It looks like there is some sorta blackening effect on highlighted areas, maybe just an effect from the lighting/camera equipment but it looks really cool. Great job, I agree with abn, alltough I try more to be a carver. Thoughtfully stamped design is hard so work with that because you seem to have that kinda 6th sense some people seem to have on stamping....and do not give them to your friends to much, you might end up shooting your own foot so try and make your friends to spread interest for your work to others. I was just writing something about myspace, maybe use that media and post your work and have your friends go in and comment the pics. Or facebook..blog...or all of them. Tom Quote

Keep posting and trying new things, that is when you learn the most! Quote
