Winter Haiku
When I initially came across this image, it immediately brought to mind thoughts of poetry -- the gentlly falling snow in the graceful trees, the single bird... I looked around for a suitable haiku to use and couldn't find one I liked, so I wrote this one myself.
Probably one of the most tedious stamps I've ever carved, the Winter Haiku stamp was a real challenge because the letters are so tiny -- the entire stamp is only 2 3/4" tall -- each row of letters is 1/8" tall! Did I mention that I really don't like carving letters?
winter falls silent
bird song breaks the frozen hush
hangs in snowy trees
Carving done February, 2007. Carved on PZKut with Exacto and Speedball carving tools. Finished size is approximately 2 1/2" x 2 3/4".
