Where my Attention to Detail Usurps my need for sleep

Just carving the crap out of some stamps.

No big deal.

Custom Stamps

We were invited to our friend's Daughter's 2nd Birthday party last weekend.  I was all fired up to make her a Janalope Horse (I had asked her mom what her favorites were, and Horses came up in conversation)

However.

An important lesson was learned the night before the party.

Samples are a good idea for a reason.

SO!

I made her a custom stamp with the Birthday Girl's name on it instead!

Geoff actually came up with the idea this past christmas.... I can't take all the credit!

I've started prepping for the workshop that I'm teaching in a couple of weeks (there is still room in the class if you are interested in taking it!  Printing on Fabric!) and have carved up a couple of stamps now to demonstrate a few different ideas.

The one above is to show that you have to remember to carve your stamp backwards if you are going to include text.

I am really happy with how this one turned out, I am thinking that I'll pick up some fabric napkins and print them with this!

How cute is that?!
