I have several art commitments, not to mention my cards and gifts for family and friends, that I really *should* be working on. Yesterday, I went into the studio with every intention of working on one of my art commitments. As typically happens, something caught my attention as I was trying to tidy up and here I am, twenty-four hours later, with only this to show for my weekend. It is a sheet of 24 2×2 inch artistamps. I sewed perforations into a background made from a wallpaper sample, punched circles out of some of the lovely, hand-marbled book liner paper I acquired online, and printed off scans of my hands that I took over a year ago. I printed the hand scans onto brown paper bag paper and then I spent many hours cutting out the hands, inking around the edges and trying out different arrangements in the squares before adhering them to the paper. Then I inked some more. Voila, another weekend gone and I am no closer to fulfilling my obligations or reaching my goals. Oh well, maybe someone will say that I am “handy” to have around. My scanner did not get the entire sheet, but you get the idea. I am calling this my “grubby paws” artistamp set.
