I think that people and people parts will always be a popular choice artists because we can't help but create images of ourselves. 

Some things I'm taking away from these photos:

  • I want to try a silhouette of a person.
  • I love the idea of carving some of my fantastical faces –  instead of a realistic one.  I have no idea why I've never tried that before?!
  • I love love love the notion of interchangeable sort of Mr. Potato Head-esque features for faces!
  • Eye stamps as a background pattern?!  YES!
  • Famous paintings as grayscale stamps?!  YES!
  • I carved one hand stamp this year.  Next year, I want to do so many  more!

This is my final round-up of faves from #CarveDecember, but there are still more #CarveDecember profiles to come!  So, watch for those over the next month or so!

Thanks for stopping by!
