2/6/2010 - Hearts for Petals

Mom and I made valentines today and while in the middle of our usual design angst, I was trying out different inks on a resist of clear pigment ink on glossy paper to see what colors were strong enough and also matched the cards we were making.  By the end of things, I had a nice pile of different colored hearts with no cards to match.  They looked really cute stacked together like flower petals though.

1/25/2010 - Glossy Stained Leaves

One of the samples I made during creativity bootcamp.  This one features stamping an image in a clear pigment inkon glossy paper and then applying dye ink directly to the paper itself.  The clear pigment resists the dye ink and shows the stamped image in silhouette.

They gave us candy at Creativity Bootvcamp yesterday.  I ended up being covered in ink AND chocolate :D

1/14/2010 - We don't make bows

One of the cute cards that Jenn, my favorite A Muse instructor, had us make tonight in class.  The theme was Valentine's Day with a hint of sea life.  Oh, and we don't make bows, we make knots...
