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?
