Beach rocks inspired print

I love beach rocks. This past summer I collected some with stripes and circles in them.

So for day 2 of my #SeeDrawPrint challenge I drew out the the basic shape of the rock with the white circle on the edge. Then I transferred it to the eraser block and carved it out.

I printed a note card. I let the abstract stones tumble on and off the page. I did a ghost impression to get a change in value. And I let my design fall on and off the edges.

I thought about adding words to the card, but decided against it. I thought the words would then become the focus and take sway from the stone shapes.

Now to the average viewer, she may not know that it is a stone, but that is ok with me. I like the block as an abstract mark anyway.
