This time yesterday I was at a rubber stamp convention, having a wonderful time shopping and watching demos. The creativity that some people have is simply amazing! Given the variables of medium, surface, color, texture, and design, there are an infinite number of possibilites for rubber stamp art, and just when you think you've seen it all...
Rubber Stampers are special people. They are kind and generous, and funny, too. They have a sense of humor and they can express it in their art. Sometimes the joke is very subtle, a small design that you have to look twice to see. Sometimes you can look at it and not see it at all, because it's a Private Joke.
I am so inspired by the ideas that I saw that I can't wait to start trying out some of them now that I'm back home again. And I already have some variations of my own that I want to try. I want to make background paper with mica watercolors, but it might turn out like the hand-made tea leaf paper that I did. I take it out every once in a while and admire it, but then I put it away and "save" it. I did manage to use some of it in a project once, but that was Long Ago. I have lots of tea for making some more, and that might loosen me up a little bit. My brain says, "Why did you go to all the trouble of making this, just to not use it?" I haven't come up with a satisfactory answer for that yet.
Bright Blessings,
