I had a lot of fun with last year’s fat book and charm bracelet swaps, even though they didn’t raise as much as I hoped they would for Alzheimer’s research. So, this year, I was thinking to do something a bit different. I want to create a zine (a type of magazine) called “A Portrait […]
I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my skinny book from Altered Abbey’s swap. It was so worth the wait! The book is gorgeous. I thought I’d give you a glimpse inside. (Although if you are anywhere within a 10 mile radius of me, you’ve probably already seen the book. I’ve lost track of how […]
My post about the collages yesterday got me thinking - I wonder what everyone else uses the most? Maybe it will help us put together some wish lists for Christmas.
Of course, the Fleur des Lis stamp is the one I use the most, but the other thing I use constantly is watercolor paper. […]
If you’re feeling a little stale and don’t want to look at your stamps, sometimes it is fun to do something else. Today, I went and took a rug hooking class. It was a lot of fun, but I’m not sure I’m going to be doing a ton of rug hooking. The rugs on display […]
This is a really fun and easy project for kids. It is a bit time consuming, but makes a really inexpensive art project for a big group of children, so we use it as an activity for some of our holiday parties. You’ll need a standard sized envelope, tape, ink pads and a variety of […]

I keep meaning to talk about Etsy as a way for people to make money with their rubber stamp art and I haven’t gotten around to it. Today, I was listing a few things and thought I’d talk about Etsy while I was at it. I’ve just started to use Etsy, but I’ve learned a […]
Just a reminder to check places you normally wouldn’t buy art supplies for stuff for your mixed media art. I stopped into Goodwill when I visited my mom and picked up the most wonderful set of 1910 Encyclopedia Britannica. It is filled with maps, black and white illustrations and a marvelous section on birds. They […]
Everywhere I look, it seems like back to school supplies are out. I thought it might be fun to talk about some ways to use rubber stamps to personalize school supplies:
Decorate a strip of paper with stamps and colored pencils. Cut it to fit a cheap Bic type pen and glue it into place. Spray […]
