It’s Christmas Eve and I feel much better than yesterday. I am also more coherent. 😂 I didn’t get my holiday baking done because I was sick on the days that I reserved for my baking, although I did bake a pie today so that we would have something for dessert. We staggered out theContinue reading “Carve December Day 24”

Carve December Day 22
Whew I am grateful I was able to get this one finished today. I came down with something (not CoVid). Felt like crap. Doc gave me some meds and I took a nap and I feel a little better so I did this stamp. For those of you that think Florida is always hot, weContinue reading “Carve December Day 22”
Carve December Day 19
The stamp for Day 19 is building on the stamps from the past few days. I have been experimenting with patterns using the previous stamps. I may even combine them with my stamps from last Carve December. As you can see, I just need to get refill ink for my red ink pad….
Carve December Day 13
Today’s stamp.
Carve December Day 12
Today’s sketches and today’s stamp. (Plus yesterday’s prints.)
Carve December Day 9
9 days done. I almost forgot to do today’s stamp. I sat and sketched out my design while listening to Christmas music. I like to listen to a variety of Christmas music from carols, to classical, to contemporary. Sometimes sneaking in Soundtrack music like Love, Actually or Scott McCreery’s “Five More Minutes.” During the day,Continue reading “Carve December Day 9”
Carve December Day 8
I wanted to go back to doing holiday stamps. I played around with reindeer ideas because today’s prompt is energy and a flying reindeer definitely has energy. This stamp was quick and easy, after drawing a bunch of jumping and flying reindeer in my sketchbook first. Here is today’s stamp with the various sketches.
Carve December Day 5
Here is today’s stamp: The only thing about doing stamps where I am trying to create a character or scene is, they take longer to make, because I have to keep making test prints to see how it looks. I did two pages of test prints before I made it to this stage.
Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!
Today is Halloween and it is also the last day of Inktober. I can’t say that I am not glad to Inktober go. It was fun to do the prompts but tough to squeeze it in. I am happy it is Halloween and I am sad to know that it is the end of October.Continue reading “Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!”
Inktober Day 30
Two days to go! I can’t believe October ends tomorrow! So sad because this is the best month of the year. The sad thing about October ending is we jump from Autumn right into the Christmas season without being able to enjoy Thanksgiving as an Autumn holiday. I mean, it’s nice to hear the ChristmasContinue reading “Inktober Day 30”
