It's a Drizzly Day...

Today it's a bit rainy and drizzly...about 50º and gray outside. The perfect day to stay inside and do some artsy stuff.

First off here's a quicky sketch I did last night...


Nothing great, just practicing sketching a face.

In the stamp carving class (link over on the right side) I'm a little behind but that's okay. Here's a frame that I carved. Sorry about the stamping job. I didn't get it inked too good.


And here's a Celtic knot design I did...


I like that I can just continue stamping with it
 and make it as long as I want.

Not much else I can show you. I'm working on a swap with a couple of blog friends...later I'll be able to show you what I did for that. Now I think I'll sketch a few more faces...

Hi Janet
I just love your face, you are really becoming adept at these. I would love to draw faces like this.
And your stamps are great. How terrific that you can do your own designs and I rather like the less inked look. Well done.
Lee:)

Hello Janet!
We never saw a drip down here... just gloomy all day. :[
I don't mind the clouds, if they are going to let down some water to clean our air.
(LOL)
Really enjoy seeing your craved stamps.
The frame, now that is a beauty! :]
Take care. ((hugs))

Hi Janet...Sorry, I haven't been by, I have been obsessed with the lettering class and making quilt blocks . I love your stamps...that's a wonderful Celtic knot stamp. The face is looking great...I can't wait to see how you do her hair.

I hope your hubby is all better. I understand that Kidney stones are very painful.

No rain here, or snow, just crisp cold sunny days. The best winter for years!
I love your stamps. Good work. We used to do lino cuts at school, and then make prints, is that the same sort of thing?
