2015 EDiM Day 10 - Something You Can Turn On and Off

Creativity turns on when fear of getting it wrong turns off. Deep, huh? It took so long the carve the stamps for this. I wonder if I'll ever finish the alphabet...or just think of all the words that can be made with these eight letters.

And, here are the seemingly random letters carved from rubber.

2015 EDiM Day 9 - An Interesting Label

Mint generosity is a tricky business. "Would you like a mint? Er. Um. Not that you NEED one!" Better to eat mints in absolute privacy.

It's not obvious that this started as a stamp, but it did. I put down a white "frame" first so the colors would pop. The stamp is the actual size of an Altoids tin.

Anchor chains, plane motors, & train whistles. I'm with ya, George Bailey! I love those sounds!

2015 EDiM Day 7 - An Envelope

Remember when the postman knocked? Yeah, neither to I.

This piece is interactive with the rest of the quote under the flap. I love this saying!

Lift the flap, and...

And, the stamp is just a border design.

2015 EDiM Day 6 - Bristles

I thought of brushes. Rainbow brushes. Indigo, as a color, has always been a puzzlement to me. I guess Roy G. Bv was just too hard to pronounce, and the rainbow needed another vowel.

This was a fun little stamp that I know I'll use again.

2015 EDiM Day 5 - Something Hot

Twelve years in New Mexico made us into chile snobs. We are always on the lookout for the pleasantly hot Hatch chiles we fell in love with in the southwest and that we rarely find in the northeast. Rarity makes them extra special.

Today's stamp--it's a big one!

2015 EDiM Day 4 - Bottled Herbs

I like one herb way more than all others. I like Simon & Garfunkel, too. I could have put thyme in a bottle, but that's another song entirely!

These stamps were really easy, and I love them! I think I'll be using these again.
