Life has a way of demanding its own schedule and needs, have you ever noticed that? My life has gone through a shift lately, and I'm still trying to find a new normal. We've had to get creative in providing care for my mother who lives with us and has a lot of health issues, and juggle work schedules for our "real" jobs that pay the bills, and then deal with all the emotional hoopla that usually accompanies change. So my creative time has been pretty hit-and-miss.... mostly "miss".
So when I was invited to participate in designing samples for a new rubber stamp set - Dream Thicket stamps, designed by ever-so-awesome Kristin Peterson, I was humbled and honored. These are so incredibly funky! How could I NOT have fun playing with these? And what a perfect solution to my need for some creative time - a specific project with a deadline.
The samples above don't show all of the stamps in the set, but I guarantee you can watch for their cameos in some of my upcoming work. I discovered that they work equally well with paints and ink - that's called a win-win! Be sure to follow me on my Facebook page - Mo Wassell Art.
I'm also excited to invite you to participate in a blog-hop to the other participating artists. Talk about humble! These artists are incredible - I can't believe I'm part of this group. So "hop" on over to their sites that I've listed below and see what they created with these fab stamps. And you can order your own set at the NEW online store for Paperbag Studios (www.paperbagstudios.com).
