Okay, Jana, you asked for it!
I hope you guys can share what you've done too. The top two are my homage to Aztec and Mayan designs. Frankly, these are not the best ones I've done. I'll attach one of my favorites too.
Anyone can do this. It's really simple. Choose one or two shapes you really like. Start drawing (aka doodling) them on a piece of paper (with a pencil) in a way that looks good to you. Really, it's that easy.
Sometimes, if you flip what you've drawn 180 degrees, you'd be amazed at what your mind drew upside down!
I have one more to do tomorrow. Who knows if my back, hands, arms or breathing can deal with that. I'm pretty sure this is my last year of carving. The pumpkins keep getting smaller and I keep getting weaker. Thanks a lot, MG.
