Late June the Paper Princesses came together once again to celebrate the birthdays of Kasha and Marlene. These canvases were created following an online class I purchased from the talented Donna Downey.

Hand Etched Stamp

  A wonderful colleague and friend, Terri-Ann, brought in an Aussie flower, the Kangaroo Paw, and asked if I could carve it into a stamp like some others I had done and took to work for show and tell. What a challenge, but think I came up with the goods in the end. Of course the finished stamp is a mirror reverse of the flower since I hand drew it directly onto the rubber.

Latest Art Journal

This journal was my husband's idea in that he suggested i put one cover upside down to the other so I could flip it depending on what art style I intend to do. One side could be say painting and drawing while the other using images, washi tape etc. I used Coptic binding stitch to secure.
