Today’s prompt is carpenter. There was a carpenter, a long time ago, who had a big impact on the world. He preached love and forgiveness. Those were simpler times. Today’s stamp carving is also included below. Such fun!

NarwHal and friend
These two friends have been companions for a long time. They help each other and watch out for each other. Although they are different species, they have learned to live together in harmony. They share that beautiful mysterious place called the Ocean. Below is also today’s carved stamp. I carved this one randomly. I likeContinue reading “NarwHal and friend”
confetti
What can I say about confetti? I had several ways to approach this prompt and I felt like playing with patterns, so I went a little bonkers on the iPad.

Icicles
The toughest part about being an artist and promoting your work is the marketing part. I try to schedule my posts but sometimes I get behind and this is one of those times. The holidays add another list of chores to an already busy day. Taking 5 minutes to take a photo can be aContinue reading “Icicles”
It’s December….Again
December is such a busy month and I scratch my head when art challenges pop up for December. Especially when the list hits right before the start date so that you can’t prepare ahead of time.
