hello all, it is a super-blustery autumn day in my part of the world. good times for making! the latest challenge at tag tuesday, hosted by our awesome DT sister Wendy, is "doors, windows, or arches."
i really thought i owned some sort of a door stamp as i wanted to stamp something. since i discovered i did not own such a stamp (or could not find it! ha!) i thought i would try to create a door with stamps i have. the following are experiments which i decided to just go ahead and post even though they certainly are not polished work by any means.
i actually was just stamping on cardstock and then cut around what i'd stamped to make a tag shape -- that's to tell you just how very "experimental" this whole thing was!
i hope you'll forgive these rough creations -- no color, masking, or anything fancy -- just plain stamping, and it was a nice little play time.
i hope you'll take a look at the challenge for yourself -- remember it can be doors, windows, or arches -- one more week to play!
love to all.
for sunday postcard art: doors
"how nice of you to visit"
"come play outside"
"welcome to our estate"
love to all.

after i made the creation in my last post for the sunday postcard art skulls and skeletons challenge theme, i happened to watch the movie "a nightmare before christmas," and that got me inspired to do a little more skeleton creating, this time mashing up hallowe'en and christmas -- hopefully to a more positive result than in the movie!

recently ive felt uninspired, exhausted, and a bit beaten down by many of things, with lots going on in life and an inability to engage in art play as i would like. i asked some arty people for help, specifically for ideas to get my mojo re-energized. i got some great ideas, here are three things i made.
i was first asked how did it feel to not have my artistic self, what was my mojo doing? thus this piece:
once i got that off my chest things got lighter! and i made this one:
finally, someone else suggested i make some hybrid animal-humans. so here's that one:
feels good to be back in the groove again.
reminder that mischief circus, where all these amazing kits come from closes its doors permanently september 12. all kits are 50% off. there are just a few days left if you are interested!
