Today's picture

You can find hundreds of stamp images in my shop. I design rubber stamps and try to draw at least one new picture every day. It's like playing the piano, you have to practice everyday to get better at your craft.

It's freezing and there is snow everywhere!

I want to go to Florida!  All these years complaining my husband takes me to Florida every jan and feb!!! and this year we don't go and I'm freezing all the time.  Check out my snowman, paper mache.  He'll warm me up.   I need sun!!!!!

Snowing in Philadelphia Potato beads!

It's been snowing here all night. I was hoping to get snowed in, but no luck!!
Last night on my etsy supply site I listed some potato beads. A friend of mine, Sandy Dawson, makes them from real potatos. She dries them in a dehydrator and cuts, sands, paints and repaints, and seals them. Drilled for bead and what an outcome. The texture is bizarre. When you tell people they're potatoes they can't believe it. Here's a link to the potatoes: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20607084 and here's a link to a necklace she made with them: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_2&listing_id=11453239&ga_search_query=potato&ga_search_type=user_shop_

Mixed with glass beads they're fantastic, I love hard and soft, smooth and rough mixed together. I think her turquoise ones are the best. Have a look and let me know what you think of them.
