Little Bits of Creative Play



I like using my own carved stamps in things I create.
My designs are pretty rustic and simple,
 but they are meant to be a part of my creations
not the whole.


When I only have little bits of creative times
I will make a small stamp carved onto an eraser.


My past week has only had small bits of creative time
And so I carved a few stamps.


This ladder stamp has a wiggly ladder on the bigger side,
and a small ladder carved into the eraser edge. 



This flower stamp can be stamped once or twice to make a larger flower.
The first stamps I did (left hand image) didn't have enough white in the petals
so I carved away a bit more.


I then tried them on some tissue paper I had coloured. 
Bits of these will eventually show up in some other creations. 


And then I played a bit altering them on the computer. 

All projects that can be done in the little bits of creative play time.
