Carina this is beautiful! exquisite detail!
aw shucks! thanks! i was browsing through my image folders and rediscovered some scanned images from years ago......i did 600 pencil drawings (over a 4 year period !) for my dads book on australian marine shells about 17 years ago...most through a microscope (though not this one!) as they were really really tiny......under 3mm. if you click the picture it takes you to a blurb about him. i am very proud of him :)
Stunning pencil drawing Carina!
How beautiful!
I'm so happy you posted them, because when I went to see your Dad's book, I was thinking how much I'd love to see your drawings, and here they are.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and glimpses of
a childhood full of such treasures, a wonderful father, and lots of inspiration...
♡
Wow, they are stunning!
Beautiful drawings - wonderful work, beautifully observed... fabulous. I grew up in WA and those shells are old friends :-)
these are gorgeous, Carina!
