introducing...

the "artful shrines" art parts frame...

here's another brand new large base for projects...

this guy is 5 3/4 inches wide @ the base & 8 inches tall...

there are 8 pieces in the "artful shrines" package...
2 solid art parts bases...
2 cut out frames...
2 of the cutouts &...
2 extra trim strips for the base...
because it makes the base thicker & like a little shelf...

again, like the other art parts ...
use one piece or layer them...

I used just the cutout with an art parts bookplate for a project...
hey...
it doesn't HAVE to be a bookplate...
it's actually, just a frame......

one more thought...

I rounded the top of the shrine to resemble a snow globe...
a GIANT snow globe...
I have an idea...


how about some NEW stamps next?

this set is called...

"label it art"...

starting @ the far left is a "distressed numbers border"...
it's long...5 1/2 inches...
use it as a border & an easy way to highlight a date or significant number...
use the whole stamp...
or just a portion...

next...the 3 labels...
these are a perfect fit for tim's corked vials...
or...this art parts ink bottle, from a previous release...

when designing, my goal is to add to current products, to refresh them with even more options...

the #35927...I needed a filler for a project...
this fit the bill...
are the numbers significant? NOPE...

next is the "warning stamp"...
my lawyer thought I should notify friends...
LOL...
it's true...rubber stamping IS addicting...

"this side up"...works for lots of things...
like mail art & more...
it can be funny too...
you'll see soon...

the "love potion label" fits the art parts ink bottle & this bottle stamp & again...
tim's corked vials...
the label is good for lots of occasions...
wedding, anniversaries, Valentine's Day...

"serum of art..."
this is pretty much everything I say in classes...
read it & laugh...
but YOU KNOW...
it is all true!
you can use just a portion or a word from this stamp too...

I *think* you'll be seeing a new large bottle art part that is a perfect fit for "serum of art"...
coming soon to a blog near you...

and the last one is a "notice to the IRS..."
art supplies NEED to be tax deductible...
it's as simple as that!
AGREE?

I don't do politics, but maybe we should all write our congressmen & tell them our thoughts on art supplies...

and here's the stamp set...


I used the "artful shrine" and new stamps to make this...



I liked it so much that this is the cover art for book #5...
I haven't seen it yet...I'm patiently waiting...
I'll show you as soon as I get it...

ok...that's my thoughts...
what are yours?

as always...

make art!
