This is a compilation of unique flower designs and images that can be interpreted into beautiful and original tattoos.  A few are shaded and colored, but for the most part they are inked lines on a white page.  Many of these flower images have detailed lines, but all of them can be easily simplified.  I have seen so many traditional flowers, roses, lilies, etc..... I wanted to create something different, something I would gladly adorn myself with, and I have....

Here is just a sample...

"In Bloom"

By Tamara Weiss

Front and back they are both the same

I never really know what flower I am drawing, it is kinda a hybrid of sorts, the petals just unfold as I am drawing and I let it take shape. 

New Designs!

In Bloom

For the past couple of days I have been working on a few new exciting designs. I started with a simple pen and ink line drawing and watercolors gave it shape and color...

I have been trying to translate my flower drawings into beautiful items for the home. I am usually prone to overdesign, the more ornate the better, but lately I am trying to go for the more simple, subtle style.

This pillow comes in various sizes and is available to purchase online at:

This tote bag, I am still working on and should be available soon..

Envelop is such a fantastic source not only for an artist to explore design, but also for the buyers to get something unique and special.

My hope for the future is to create my own line of accessories and fashion apparrel and envelop allows me the opportunity to see what designs you, the audience, like....so any feed back, negative or positive, is much needed and appreciated... Thanks! Enjoy! Stay tuned for more to come!

ILLUSTRATIONS TO HOME ACCESSORIES

Recently, I have become drawn more to the landscape of my illustrations and this is what has fueled my interest in design.

A very good friend of mine introduced me to an amazing website, which allows an artist to explore a different avenue of the arts. It allowed me to translate my illustrations to home accessory design, and I am having a ball creating fun, unique items for the home. It has opened so many new doors for me and I am running with it.....

Soon I hope to have a series of wallpaper and textile designs and a line of fashion apparel....so keep your eyes peeled....the skies the limit...

You should check out my online shop at Envelop for a sneak peek at some of the items I have been toying with...Enjoy..

ARTIST STATEMENT

"Pulling Taffy" 2008 Series of 4

Pen and Ink/Color Pencil/Cut Paper/Mixed Media

I absolutely adore this series. I created these images back in 2008, using paper as my primary medium. There is something so wonderful about working on each of these ladies and then extracting them from the page, causing them to become so delicate in your hand. These ladies are dangling from their own little room, cocoon-like, graceful and yet deeply dark in context. You can find beauty in even the darkest of moods.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I remember as a child reading the German Fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and being engrossed in such beautifully dark imagery. The imagery may be dark in nature, but it invokes a subtle beauty by the delicacy of the extracted images and the great care in which they are strung together.

Each finished piece is considered a storybook. Each page, each image is scored carefully with an exacto knife and assembled layer upon layer to depict one singular candy coated image. In some cases other mediums are introduced, such as textile cuttings and tracing paper to add some color texture and depth. Each finished piece can have up to twenty different layers to create a more inviting scene.

I call this twisted beauty, surreal-like dark images, intertwined with childlike notions of paper dolls and fairy tales.......
