It's always fun to discover new tools, new materials and play around with them. I told you about the tape, flashing tape it's called I'm told....made another lined box,
For another recycled piece, the Poppy Goddess has a new home....
I've been waiting... patiently... for UPS to deliver more new tools and materials so that I could join in this months GPP Street Team Challenge. I cut a few right away...
New Tools.....
For my first stamp I carved a copy of a 'borrowed' stamp. I've been using this a lot and knew I wanted the shape for my own. Cutting out the tiny circles....a bit of a challenge....any hints? There is probably a special tool for this.
I had an easier time cutting these circles....my next stamp?....a mask for a henna hand and a carved patterned henna hand....
Lot's of ideas churning 'round....
This is TERRIFIC, Stephanie! You create the best shrines. I really like the details you have here...the collage, the embossed flashing tape, the beading. This looks great!

These carvings are great. The one in the second photo that you can only partially see looks really interesting, so intricate with all those circles. I can't wait to see the Henna Hand.

Your carved stamps are gorgeous. Love that spiral one. Love your shadow box. The tape has such a gorgeous effect :)
