Muscles or maybe Mussels?

Here is a questionable stamping plate,  I really have no idea what this image is!  What do you think?  

Muscles or Mussels?  These ideas both came to mind when I first saw this plate.  I've chosen to stamp the latter, just because Halloween is approaching and I don't need any more gory manicures than necessary this month!  And I'm sure Konad didn't intend this image to look like muscle fibers from a biology text book.

The questionable image

Muscle...

...or Mussel?

Bottle Shot
Base colour: Essie Mirror Metallics, 944 Blue Rhapsody
Tip gradient:  George (Asda) Molten Metals, No. 5 Party Animal
Stamp colour: Konad White
Stamping plate: Konad M89

Giant finger
Autumn sun
Halogen lighting
Metallic gradient

I do apologise for the following image - it came up when I searched the net for "muscle fibre diagram"  and it made me laugh out loud so I couldn't resist adding it to this post.





Google has everything!

  2. I love the gradient on its own! The complex, fibrous pattern is lovely - it does look like muscle fibre to me. Looking forward to the gruesome Halloween manicures!
