rubber stamping, collage, mixed media & altered art

some stampy joy!

This is the only artwork I’ve done all week. It’s been a busy week, full of work and not feeling all that great. But I was putting together a swap to send out for Stampers Corner and I wanted to do a little something to send back to the girls with their swapped goodies. This is what I came up with. The dog stamp is from Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers. The flowers are from SunSpirit Studio. I don’t know who makes the e=mc2 stamp, but it makes me giggle. Inks from Ranger and Memories and Colorbox.

I did spend some time yesterday and today revamping my shop and I’m hoping to get it live tomorrow. Many thanks to those of you who took a look and gave me feedback. Millions of thanks to those of you who made a purchase! I can’t even tell you how exciting that was for me!

I have a weekend of work ahead of me. I’m hoping to get ahead on a few things so my head doesn’t explode next week. And if I can spend a couple of hours journaling, too, all the better!

a little bit of art on sale now!

I’m still catching up from my trip back east. My dad died, after a couple of weeks in the ICU, ultimately from aggressive pulmonary fibrosis. It’s been a really rough time, as some of you know my grandmother died in December, and I’ve been struggling with infertility issues. There also have been an inordinate number of losses for my family and friends, seemingly all at once, and I am overwrought with hopelessness and despair most of the time. I don’t normally talk about this kind of stuff here, preferring to focus this blog on artwork, but I think that, as I focus on my artwork and therapy in the coming weeks, all of that pain and struggle is going to show up. I thought it was only fair to warn you! ;)
