Sporadic, at Best.
My creatively talented friend has been at it again, JJ made these stamps for me, they are to be used in the wax pot. I began using them yesterday, am washing a sample as I type.
I/We hope to selll a few either in my store or in an etsy type store. I wonder if all of you surface design fanatics might comment on price ranges that you would snap these things up at.
As you can tell my postings have been sporadic, at best. My Man and I are getting the house ready to be sold. I was offered a job in Flagstaff, it starts on August 1. I pray that the timing of all of these things works out.
I am tired. I wake feeling tired.
But I have been reading Ted Orlands book and will be posting about what I have read so far, tomorrow morning. Perhaps I should create that post tonight, because I have alot of comments written in the margins of my copy.
I have also been being creative. Yesterday I worked on a 4x6" piece that I am loving and started a nude that is also quite interesting. As Julia Cameron lovingly reminds me, in order to function I really need to coddle and encourage the artist in me.
Making art, engaging creatively, clarifies my mind. simplifies interactions with the people I love and makes daily living purposeful. So although neither of these creative endeavors are at the stage where I would feel comfortable showing them, I am making art. My art. For me. Because I need to. Want to. Love to.
Those stamps are pretty cool!

How big are the stamps. I'd buy one or two for sure. If they're about $20-$40 I'd say they were a great deal. They're not as intricate as the batik tjaps from Dharma, and those go up to $100. But I have no idea what kind of margin you're working with, so that makes a difference

Ah, that moving and timing of things is a PIA. The psychic energy it devours! Rest and , yes, coddle yourself.
Those copper stamps are gorgeous! I want that snaily/swirly thing with the spines..though I haven't a clue what a fair price would be for it.
