Inspired

Inspired to carve some lino blocks, here are the castings.

Lino Blocks Castings

I'm not sure what else to call these little slivers, except for castings.

Image Issues

I'm not sure why I'm not able to upload images in "compose" mode, but I discovered I could do so by switching over the HTML mode.  Anywho... this is my new date stamp love, love, love it, I'm having so much fun just stamping dates all over my journal.  Super nerdy I know, but then that's just me, a dyed in the wool nerd!  And now with my date stamp it's easier to date my skeins, etc. after spinning, dyeing, and what not.

2013 - The Year to make things Sparkle!

I knew this year was going to be a banner year when I found this date stamp at Staples, talk about an easy way to date entries in my journal, and I don't know if your like me or not but any empty space in my journal is fair game for whatever! 

Well for whatever reason, Blogger isn't allowing me to upload images at the moment, so take my word for it the stamp is way cool, if you're into office stamps, and has been a godsend!

Cork Stamps

Making good use of the modern version of a wine cork and am carving them into stamps.  They hold up quite well to the carving and to the stamping.

The stamps are a little on the "organic" side which makes them deliciously mine!

Wild Flowers in Wax

The wax is still warm in this shot and the rice paper buckled something fierce!

The wax has cooled buy isn't quite hard yet, the colors are darker and richer, the texture of the buckled paper worked for me this time.
