Creativity: Words and pictures

I came up with the idea of making simple pictures for my words or 'messages'.

This is the original idea.

(Ignore the erased part. I had, stupid as I can be sometimes, written the number of my bank account.)

This is how they came out. I am quite pleased with the result.

Materials used are cardboard, Indian ink (is that the correct term for 'tusch'?) and stones/pearls of glass.

The picture on the left says "Bäst att vara barn".

Another one I made. Same materials.

I am thinking of making frames, but that might ruin them. I sort of like their simplicity.

Tell me what you think. :)

Time used: just over 3 hours
