  • stencils + ink pads

    Here are some of the sample tags I've made with the new Ink Pad stencils, along with brief descriptions.  These are just pigment ink pads + stencils.  

    TIP:  if you use wedge make-up sponges, cut off the hard edge so you don't get 'lines' when dabbing off the ink onto your tag.

  • on a mission

    I've never been one to pick a Word of the Year.  However, a few weeks ago I had an epiphany, and that came with a word.  PURPOSE. I've launched a mission that has kept us busy here at home.  I will reveal the details soon, with a few teasers as it gets closer.  It's one of those ideas that was lingering around in the corner of my mind and I wasn't sure it could work, but once I started saying it out loud and sharing the plan with loved ones it became something real, something tangible, something do-able.  

    First, you stretch your way of thinking to consider all possibilities, no matter how far-fetched.  Then you reign it in and determine what can be accomplished in reality.  You weigh pros and cons, do some research, and begin to visualize a successful outcome.  You gather the supplies you need, set up a schedule, and jump in.  

    As a sign that we are on a mission, I scored a handsome Word of the Year Rock + Amulet from my friend Kim Mailhot (aka The Rock Fairy) who makes and sells these in her Etsy shop HERE.  Isn't she a clever one?  This hangs over our work table and reminds us that what we do is important.  

    More soon.
