Abstract ladybirds

I've been playing around with the images of the ladybird and realise how much I like the strength and sharpness of black and white printing. It has its own difficulties of course, but there is something both calming and energising in the different tonal values which can be achieved using different tooling methods and I've been playing around with some bits of images  from my original vinyl print.

 

At the moment this is one stage for a final idea but I like the shapes and the idea of using parts of the  the same image turned around and juxtaposed. I'm still working on it but feel it has a lot of potential....
