Tattooing is ritualistic, an exchange of energy which must be done with respect and dedication. The body is each one’s temple. With its marks, tattoos, scars, everything that represents each other’s experience. Tattooing for generations represents freedom of expression and strength.  - Frann Rocha

Ornamentals Vol. 3: Woodblock Flash Stamps

100 ornamental paisley, floral, mandala, lotus, and leaf designs with both lined and filled versions. This project was inspired by a set of woodblocks that Russ Abbott found.

Frann looked at the photos of just a few woodblocks and used her unmatched imagination to create a full set of 100 ornamental designs.
