I’ve a longstanding love of various tribal patterns, together with a few of the nomadic African tribes such because the Berbers. I’ve a number of pillows constructed from outdated Berber carpets that I simply adore and I assumed that pulling from these motifs would make actually enjoyable and versatile stamp units. To offer you a peek into a few of the methods I used to be serious about utilizing this set as I drew the weather, I’ve a number of samples to share.
Berber-Impressed Blended Media
There is a enjoyable form of zigzag component included on this set that I used to be enthusiastic about as I used to be picturing it as a repeating component to make traces and borders. It additionally stacks to make backgrounds as you may see on this pattern.
By now I am certain it is no shock to anybody that I really like a great medallion. It was enjoyable to give you a medallion-esque design that used the Berber-inspired parts from this set and I simply low the way it got here out! It is enjoyable to color or coloration or to make use of it plain, as stamped.
I had numerous enjoyable mixing and matching the totally different stamps from this set to create background papers in addition to taking totally different bigger / focal parts and mixing them to combine it up and make one thing new. I actually like the way it all got here collectively!
Berber-Impressed Card
The designs on this stamp set are additionally enjoyable for creating playing cards or ATCs – they work very well when you’re on the lookout for a barely much less gender-specific design.
The smaller stamps on this set make actually enjoyable repeating designs or backgrounds for smaller substrates – this can be a 4″ x 4″ card and I actually take pleasure in having plenty of element in a small house with out it being too overwhelming.
I really like the choice with these stamps to paint them or maintain them plain – it offers a lot added versatility to the set!
Eclectica³ Gwen Lafleur – A5 stamp set Nr44 {EGL44}
This set is what I name my Fashionable Indian Motifs. Lots of the stamps have been impressed by the designs on enormous pillars within the baggage carousel space within the Mumbai airport. I liked how they jogged my memory of basic block prints however with a extra doodled type. I attempted to take the spirit of these designs and put them in my very own hand after which spin them into different coordinating designs. The stamp with the squares was impressed by a block at one of many printing studios that I visited in India on that very same journey – I assumed it tied in very well with the remainder of the set. I am having a blast utilizing them!
Fashionable Indian Motifs Card
For this primary venture, I wished to point out how effectively the stamps work to create a card or work on a small substrate. I really like how simply the designs mix and layer with one another to simply create an in depth and sophisticated piece of artwork!
The stamp I used because the focal picture on this piece is a favourite – It is plenty of enjoyable to paint and it really works nice when positioned each vertically, as I’ve it right here, in addition to horizontally.
I particularly take pleasure in pairing the bigger and smaller parts from the set to create a pleasant distinction and add further curiosity and element with out pulling consideration away from the point of interest.
Fashionable Indian Motifs Blended Media
One of many issues I at all times attempt to do once I draw units of all these ornamental parts is to design patterns that may mix with one another and repeat. Right here you may see what a enjoyable background you may make by mixing and repeating a few of the patterns on this set.
I actually love how one can take the sq. component and break it down into smaller designs… chopping aside the bigger picture to get a bunch of small squares is an excellent straightforward approach to create repetition in your work and get some added versatility from inside the similar stamp set.
It was actually enjoyable to play with totally different colours and strategies to create plenty of totally different layers on this piece with out overwhelming the whole piece. (Plus, a bit glitter by no means damage something!)

For the final stamp set on this launch, I had to return to my birds. This time I used to be impressed by a number of pictures that I took of various birds in my neighborhood out and about in wintertime, thus my identify for this set – Winter Birds. I included a few of the foliage that we generally see the place I stay, together with a department of berries that matches the department the hen was sitting on in my inspiration photograph. For these , right here we now have a Northern Cardinal and a Northern Mockingbird. After all, I had so as to add in some totally different snow parts which you can layer in to make winter scenes.
Winter Cardinal Transport Tag
I’ve a tender spot for Cardinals… we now have them in all places right here in Virginia (they’re truly the state hen,) and so they’ve at all times been a favourite of my mom’s. Rising up I got here to affiliate them with Christmas and so despite the fact that we now have them year-round, I are inclined to image them with holly and with the male’s vivid purple coloring making them stand out superbly within the snow.
I like to construct a scene with a bit masking and it is fairly straightforward to make some fast masks of the birds so you may perch them on the branches. I really like how each the hen and holly look when painted and the layered snowflake stamps create a fantastic winter ambiance.
After all, you do not have to make use of the stamp with the smaller scattered snowflakes as snowflakes – the dots make nice texture, particularly while you use them in a lighter or tone-on-tone ink.
Mockingbird Blended Media
I really like my Northern Mockingbird! Within the unique photograph he truly had considered one of these berries in his beak, however I drew the beak largely closed to offer the stamp extra versatility. Nonetheless you can clip it with scissors to open up the beak and add a berry if you need to do this.
Whereas I drew this as a Mockingbird, you may clearly change up the colour as a way to customise the hen to look nevertheless you need. Right here I did that by making the hen way more blue and I really like the distinction with the purple berries and the little snow piles! (That is what that different little stamp within the set is – to make it straightforward so as to add some snow piles to your scenes.)
That is such a enjoyable and versatile little set (plus, I can not wait to pair the weather with the birds from my different units!)
After all, I could not let this launch go by with no venture that mixes all three units so you may see how effectively all of them work collectively. I’ve a fast photograph tutorial for you as effectively!
First, begin by placing down a stable coat of paint for the colours of your hen on totally different items of paper. I did a darker and barely lighter shade of purple to offer some added dimensionality. Stamp the hen on prime of the dried paint, ensuring that the part that you really want (wing, beak, and many others…) is clearly seen on the painted space.
Subsequent, decide which goes to be your base – I used the darkest coloration of the hen’s physique. Reduce out the totally different items and cling them on prime, then lower out the whole hen.
Then, create your background by deciding on a chunk of coloured paper and selecting a number of totally different ornamental designs to alternate and repeat to make a patterned background. (With the Misery Oxide, it’s possible you’ll wish to warmth set the ink to verify it’s very dry and does not smear within the subsequent steps.)
This step is non-obligatory, however you may create a enjoyable contrasting border by taking a chunk of paper and stamping the border stamp from EGL43 in stacking traces so it fills the paper. Then lower strips that enable for a few 1/2″ border round your background. Connect it to your piece and around the corners if desired.
Now it is time to embellish! A strip of handmade paper may give the feel and trace on the concept of a department or tree. You may as well stamp ornamental photos on paper, coloration them, and lower them out so as to add in a line down one facet of the piece.
To bolster the concept of a department, stamp holly a number of occasions on inexperienced paper after which use paint to focus on a few of the areas of the stamp design. Loosely lower them out and place on the paper – it’s possible you’ll wish to lower the branches into smaller leaves and items (see the subsequent photograph for extra particulars on that.)
For ending particulars, take one of many Fashionable Indian designs and lower them down to simply the sq. parts inside each bit. Add them across the web page and layer holly leaves on prime. Adhere all of it down and also you’re about completed!
Listed here are a number of closeups so you may see a few of the particulars of how the stamps are mixed and layered.
That is it for right this moment’s launch! I hope you like these new designs as a lot as I do and I can not wait to see what you all do with them!
