2015 EDiM Day 17 - A Measurer

I don't use canning jars to measure, but I could because they have volume markings on them. I couldn't decide which variation I liked better, so I included both color ways. Stamps are so good at duplication!

And, the baby Mason stamp.

2015 EDiM Day 16 - Recipe Ingredients

I've been making this recipe for over twenty years. I can probably make it in my sleep. And, before anyone asks, no that isn't ketchup. The camera did weird things to the glossy medium I used.

Two stamps that I will use separately, but probably never together again.

2015 EDiM Day 15 - What I'd Give Away

I spent a little time channeling my 13-year-old self while I drew this. There was such a long list of things THAT girl would have gladly given away: the glasses, the pale complexion, the invisible eyes, the red hair, the freckles. Now, I just want to throw away all the self-doubt from those years (and the part that still lingers 40 years later).

The subtle little stamp that was used above is actually one I created for Day 2 and reused here.

2015 EDiM Day 14 - Something I Use Every Day

Keys...when I can find them.

These took a ridiculous amount of effort, but I love how they turned out...and they're reusable!

2015 EDiM Day 13 - Last Thing I Bought

I bought lunch from the drive-thru (don't judge), and the fun graphic on the bag spoke to me. I knew it wanted to be a set of rubber stamps. What? Your lunch bag doesn't talk? Pity. The craft paper makes a pretty convincing lunch sack, don't you think? :)

I look forward to finding ways to use these shapes for non-burger purposes.

2015 EDiM Day 12 - Stairs

Leave it to me to INTERPRET the challenge. "They couldn't have meant ordinary, boring stairs. I'm sure they meant spiral stairs. Or just spirals. Or just a spiral." After years of being the compliant child, I've become a bit of an old rebel. It serves the art better!

This is a big ol' stamp!

2015 EDiM Day 11 - A Hat

Anyone up for an obscure theatrical reference? "Look, I made a hat, where there never was a hat."* Congrats to all the grads who have proudly worn the world's goofiest hat recently.

EDiM 11 - Hat; stamp & marker on craft paper

This was a quick, but useful little stamp that I used for the "board" part of the mortarboard above. I stamped the diamond four times with brown ink and then embellished heavily.

*The reference is to a song from a stage play that was filmed back in the 80s. It's called "Sunday in the Park with George," and it's a fictional backstory of Georges Seurat's most famous painting.
