"Making Your Own Stamps"












I made a new stamp over the weekend, my very first handmade stamp. After this handmade stamp was made I created a border around my two page journal spread. These photos show the process in making this stamp. I started by using some Sculpey clay I just happened to have in my studio. The only problem with using clay is that the stamp doesn't bend with the surface you are working on so I found myself pressing against the paper behind it with my hand to ensure the ink was leaving the stamp I intended it to. I will be experimenting with different material for making stamps and will share with you each time I do. Have a great day everyone!!

Happy Valentines Day!!
These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
