ABC Wednesday - Y and WOYWW

We are almost at the end of this round of ABC Wednesday. The letter of the week is Y.


Y is for YES.

Here is my carved stamp and art tag I created for Y.

WOYWW

Each week, Julia Dunnit of "Stamping Ground" hosts WOYWW - where we are asked to share our work spaces and what we are working on.

Once again, I was working on my dining room table to carve my latest stamp and crate the art tag. Here is my work space:

ART on Friday

End of the week means sharing some of the projects I am working on.

Colour Me Positive
Each week, a new quote and challenge is posted at LuLuArt
This week the theme is "celebration".

I had fun with the background - using a paper towel roll and paint to create the fireworks. Check here for how to create it.

Art Tags
I am continuing my 365 day challenge with art tags - with R to W in different lettering. I'm enjoying this - as I want to improve the lettering I use in my journals - rather than just run off a quote.

As well, I created a new carved stamp and art tag for ABC Wednesday this week - for X.

ICAD
At Daisy Yellow, the yearly challenge ICAD, runs for June and July. Here are some of the new index cards I worked on this week - with the theme butterflies and blooms.

More lilies have started to bloom and now there is so much colour in our garedens. Here are a few of the blooms:

ABC Wednesday - W and WOYWW

This week at ABC Wednesday, the letter W is our focus.

W is for waves and WOYWW (the fun challenge - What's on Your Work Space Wednesday)

Here is the art tag and stamp I carved (inspired by a stamp carved by Jessica of Enchanting Stamps -She is a very talented stamp carver).

Be sure to check here for what others around the world did for W this week.



WOYWW

 Each week Julia Dunnit at Stamping Grounds hosts WOYWW - where we are encouraged to share our work spaces and the work we are working on.

I thought I'd share some of the steps (and my work space as well) for creating the stamp above.

First, I draw my design, turn it upside down on the carving block and rub the back to get the carbon on the block.

Next, I begin to carve around the design, and then go around again to make it easier to cut around the excess with an exacto knife.

I check it then for areas missed, by inking it and stamping in my book. If needed I will trim excess and then restamp to check it.

Finally, I create an art tag with the new stamp.
