Hand carved rubber stamp collection

Hand carved stamps

Some of the stamps I carved last year. I keep them in an old ice cream tin, but will have to find a new home for them as the collection is growing. Carving stamps is a great way to procrastinate! By the way - I am now back to work after a lovely break, and my etsy shop has reopened. Have a great weekend!

I am taking some time off for a camping trip on the coast to one of the places we visited on our road trip last year. Here are some photos from that trip. My etsy and madeit shops will reopen mid January when we return!

Art Initial "S"

I recently had a commission to draw individual initial artworks for each member of staff at a nursery/cafe as a Christmas persent. Each letter features different plants and cakes. I am thinking of adding these to my etsy shop, as they would make a great gift!

Handmade clay christmas ornaments.

I know there are lots of people using crocheted doilies to imprint an image into clay, and this is old news, but I think it looks lovely and decided to make some to include in my gift wrapping this year. It's so easy!

I've already made some jewellery bowls for my mum and sister using this tutorial by sodapop design found at the Creature Comforts blog.
