Ernst's Shell

Have you seen Ernst Haeckel's book Art forms in Nature? Check out some images here. It was recommended to me quite a while ago, you will certainly go 'wow' and find it a splendid resource for inspiration.
Rick and Maria have included it in their bibliography in The Book of Zentangle to so that's a good recommendation.

Have a happy enjoyable weekend!

Paper size: 10' X 8"

    Hello Shelly, Yes, I am an avid reader of that book and use it constantly to get little bits of patterns, it is quite fascinating and I wouldn't be without it ! Glad to see I am not the only only who enjoys unusual patterns from creatures hundreds of metres below the sea! Some of them look decidedly creepy!

    Very beautiful pictures and a gorgeous tile. Feels like summer to me. That shell is very inspiring and you rendered it wonderfilly. And your fengles are always the best I ever see. I've tried again and again, I just can"t get them flowing like yours. Great talent!
