The Challenge
This week's challenge (here) is to use your initials as a string. I really enjoyed playing with the string until I got something I liked. You can see in the second picture the M in pink and the h in purple.
The ACEOs
I grabbed a couple of pieces of brightly painted paper (with acrylics) stamped over with hand-carved stamps, and drew some leaves. I may still fiddle with them, but I might just list them as they are on Etsy. How do you like them?

The Bookmarks
These are very fun and colorful bookmarks and they will last a very long time. I've had one for several years and it looks as good as new - and believe me, it has been abused! It has even been dropped in bubble baths several times :)
They are made from art canvas, painted with acrylics, stamped with hand-carved stamps, drawn on with black pen, and finally sealed with 2 or 3 coats of varnish. Since 2 of them fit together, do you think I should list them as a pair or individually on Etsy?

Nice tile for the challenge. Pretty bookmarks too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate! I appreciate it.
DeleteLike your tile. 'Nzeppel is one of my favorite tangles. You used it well here. You were busy with the bookmarks. From your description, would guess that they would stand up to a lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donald. Love 'Nzeppel as well :), and yes, the bookmarks are very durable.
