Mastercarve Me!

Here are a few stamps carved this week... out on the deck during a few sun breaks before school pick up time. (in other words, the precious few quiet moments of the day! :) I'll be adding a little more detail but they are kind of fun and very 'off the cuff'.

I've been walking a lot lately, trying to store up every inch of sunshine before the darkness sets in. Yesterday I noticed the beautiful colors of autumn just starting to turn and fall from the trees. I picked up Walden at the library - on CD- thought it would add to the enjoyment of the changing season. Love it! Happy almost Friday.

New Stuff...

Check out the new stamp I just carved out of Mastercarve. Boy is that stuff soft and lovely compared to wood... and no wood grain to worry about. I really only use it for lettering... wood is much more tricky when carving letters. Anyway, it was so much fun, I want to do more!

Check out this lovely tin I found at 'Wet Paint' as suggested by Laura at 'Laura's Watercolors'... (March 12th post) thanks, Laura! I'm very excited to have a real travel size palette...(fits in the palm of my hand) recently acquired some compact travel water containers too. I'm ready to sketch 'on location' as soon as the weather gets warmer.

On another note, we just got back from delivering my prints and paintings to Port Angeles for the April show at Itty Bitty Buzz. What a long drive... but we did treat ourselves to an Ikea visit in Seattle. I think I could easily live in that store :) Happy Spring break!
