but still no sun!
What gives?????????
OK...give it up & talk about art...
I have some photos for you today, compliments of Susan Kesselman...
She was @ the workshop on Saturday & brought a mini rose to show me...
I made ONE about the size of a quarter a while back, as a test for a possible stamp...
The operative word here is ONE...
it was such a pain...no more for me...
Look @ the one below, made by Susan...
This chick must have the patience of an art saint!
it's soooo ADORABLE and sooo mini...
Amazing...right?
And that's not all from Susan...
She embellished a sweatshirt...using my stamps!
Let me tell you...I wasn't the only one who wanted to steal it!
CUTE!!! CUTE CUTE!!!
That's Lori on the lower right...Deb on the lower left & I'm next to Susan. They're group friends.
on to some Q & A's...
#1...Could you be persuaded to sell you personal pocket journal kit?? (please envision sad puppy dog face) It would be perfectly practical, I'm sure - prudent even... I would love to purchase (pretty please with rock candy stickles on top!)
Lots of people would like me to sell kits...I get this request frequently, but here's my thoughts...
My workshops are all about inking and stamping...
LOTS of stamping. I bring TONS of inks & TONS of stamps...
So...if you have the kit parts and instructions, but not the stamps or the right color ink...
the kit does you no good.
We thought about stamping everything...but then you have no fun & may as well buy the finished piece. make sense?
We're still thinking on kits...plus time is another HUGE issue. We talk about this often...to be continued...
#2...I thought this comment was soooooooo sweet
Wendy, love the q & a- I have to tell you this- I am a curriculum specialist at an elementary school and yesterday was Dream Big day- where we got to dress like what we want to be when we grow up- well i wore painted on jeans and a shirt and an apron with "Make Art" on the front- I also had a tag that said Mrs. McKinney- Artist- So I guess you could say that I dressed up like you yesterday!
Hey Dawn...I hope you didn't have a paper towel up your nose!
#3...forgot 2 ask...how did u mount ur craft sheet to the cutting mat?
I have my non stick craft sheet attached to a self healing cutting mat, like quilters use(JoAnn's)
I attached it with Ranger's Wonder Tape...but just around the outside perimeter.
You don't want an X diagonally...that will show thru when you ink over it...
I like that it's more stable and you can still see the quilters lines thru the craft sheet....for straight easy stamping.
#4...this is from NANCY...it's a blog comment...I have no email to answer this...so here goes...
Hi Wendy,Glad you are back! Yikes....sorry to read of your paper towel episode. Looking forward to receiving your book. Will I get a pay pal notice first?
We mailed every book order yesterday...so Nancy, please resend your book request in an email. THANKS!
#5...(was that snowman in your backyard?)
HA! NO WAY would I stay out there to make him...NEVER! I'm IN 'til JUNE!
#6...can I ask what machine you use for those Tim dies?
I have the Big Shot Express from Sizzix & I LOVE IT...(but I will be getting tim's new Sizzix machine...you can bet on it! It's TOO COOL...It's coming this summer and I can't wait)
#7...ah ha!!!!!!!!! YOU thought you were being sneaky. I found out what you were hinting about...the guest artist thing. I FOUND your new Ranger video. do I win a prize?
HA HA! WRONG...that's not what I was hinting about...but thanks for letting me know it's been posted.
I see that LOTS of new FREE videos from CHA are up on Ranger's site...featuring Tim, Claudine, Suze & my sweet UK friend...the REAL Lady Dy.
Get a beverage & check them out for some FREE fun!
There's more questions for another day...
I'll be back tomorrow.
Until then...
make art!
wendy
