The Forest Has Eyes

[ellenmillion]

The Idaho trip had a few days of near-abject boredom. So I dotted, when I could. I don't understand why extreme stippling hasn't caught on as an Olympic sport...






And a detail...

Can't you imagine the commercials, though?

(VROOM! VROOM!) The newest X-TREEM OLYMPIC SPORT! VERTICAL IN-LINE INK STIPPLING. (loud obnoxious electric guitar music, etc.)

Re the pic: 1) That is a COOL--no, FREEZING COOL--concept. 2) YOU STIPPLE AND YOU ARE MAD. ...I mean, talented. ;) Skilled. I could NEVER do that. I would go insane and stipple my eyeballs out or something.

First of all, that's awesome!

Second of all, if trampoline can be an Olympic sport. Anything can.

I see eyes everywhere - or is it spots? :)

I've never even tried stippling, am quite sure I'd run out of patience long before the picture was finished. Good work!

Oh my freaking word. That is an incredible number of dots- are you sure you're still sane? Wow.

Let me say that again. WOW.

Holy madwoman, you are the stipple Queen! :D

Beautiful work, so wonderful ideas and all so professional looking!

You have the patience of the gods and the talents of them as well! :D

...ok, I obviously grew up in Alaska, because despite the title of the piece I didn't *notice* the trees had eyes until somebody commented on the creepiness. What's creepy, birch trees look like that. :)

I love this. You're nuts, but I love it. :)

I think it's beautiful, and should not be coloured. It's perfect in black and white :)
