Been so busy lately it’s been hard to blog. I have no pictures from Inspired because I was counting on HUGELY talented Paolo to hook me up. And he did. Check out the pictures I’m gonna get….
I had an amazing time at Inspired and wish that I’ve been able to do more with what I’ve learned since I’ve been home. I have managed to carve a couple stamps and sort of finish up my face from Paulette’s class. I’m so very excited that it looks like a person! I have had very little success in the past in making people look like people. This gal still needs some stuff, but she’s mostly there. I’m afraid to add eyelashes but I really want to. Suggestions? And I’d like to take the necklace off….but I’ll figure out something to do with that.
Stamp Carving – Oliver’s done upon request. Now he wants to design a whole mess of stamps:
I decided I wanted to try to make a stamp that would use all the sides to create something bigger. I’m pleased with my first try. Though wish I’d used one side for apples instead of a second set of leaves. Live and learn. Neither one of the tree prints below looks that great on the trunk, but I stamped one using a dark brown ink and it looks more like one piece.
Wondering if we’ll have soccer tomorrow since it’s POURING right now. Since I missed my team play last week while I was arting, and next week is Memorial Day Weekend, I’m hoping I’ll get to see the team tomorrow. Go Tigers!
