Colour Test pieces

Here I am testing the colours I have not printed yet, just to check what they look like. And, of course, I couldn't just test them. I had to find an appropriate image to use, so I then designed this scorpion - which comes from a potter's signature, that stuck in my mind from when I was a student, and the memory of a scorpion in Thomas's bath just recently. Combine all this with my preoccupation with the 'sting/heart' and something is bound to happen (soon).

I quite like the imperfect yellow print. Now just to work out how to do it deliberately.

New ribbon

New ribbon? I'm trying to integrate the sting (previously the fleur-de-lis) with the ribbon... and some interesting things are happening... I like the negative shape and the way the off-cut becomes interesting as well

K.sol

With medal?

I'm looking for a connection between the kiepersol and the medals.

I like the way the little fleur-de-lis (need to find a better name) fits into the leaf... that seems to be the connection. The shapely voluptuous bottom leaf has a sting and a royal (as in princessly - from princely) connotation.... (for me?)

How can one reward someone for being good with (perceived) malice?...
