Why Orange Blossoms
I grew up across the road from a large commercial orange grove and the scent of orange blossoms in the spring – especially in the evening – is one of the defining smells of my childhood.
Memory is a house with uncertain walls.
This image shows some of the steps I use to make the stamps or blocks I’m using in this project. I draw the image freehand on thin styrofoam (the kind that plates and food trays are made of) with a stylus or pencil then cut them out and adhere it to a substrate for more strength. If it’s a flat plate, I usually just use cardboard and double stick tape. For a shaped stamp like these orange blossoms, I glued it down with aliphatic glue because it’s water resistant when dry.
