Fingerprint art


And why not use your very own fingerprints as a means of expression?

Inspired by Klutz Press, a publisher that sells thumbprint art materials, I made this sheet of characters, and then five more sheets, with people, groundhogs (for mom's birthday which is on Groundhog Day), hedgehogs, Easter Island faces, squirrels, birds, a french girl, a fox with a genie, and many other strange little creatures that were conjured out of inkblots.

All that is required for this art form are some ink pads, relatively heavy paper, fingers, and a fine tipped black felt pen. Enjoy.
