More Gelli and Googie -- an eye-catching design

Here's a second set of stencils I made for mono printing, inspired by 1950's Googie design. These were based on this ceramic plate.

When I sketched the design, I altered some of the details to make it look more like an eye, and less like a…uh, well, I'll leave that to your imagination.

The eye shape was popular in mid-century design. One famous example is a clock that looks like an abstract eye. 

I made two stencils, one for the eye and one for the lines surrounding it.

Here's the final print.

One more, this time without the rays. I also tried adding some texture to the eye, to make it less blocky.

I like this one better. It feels happier, less Big Brother-ish. I'm considering re-doing the stencil to make it more symmetrical, less hand-drawn. What do you think?
