DIY prints

Feeling crafty and inspired by Yellow Owl Workshop's stamping style, I've started hand-printing stationary. I made stamps out of junk on my desk: a Pearl eraser, twine, and ink. It's messy and I love it.

Auslandia

My job was to decorate for the holiday lunch. Chopped some arms off the tree. Stuck birds on them. BAM — instant table art.

I made three cat related gifts for Christmas. THREE.

1. 11x17" print of Democats '12. Because "if you're not part of the solution, Marge, you're part of the problem!"

2. Set of cat buttons, made from an old knit shirt. Though I quickly learned that stretching printed knits over buttons results in neurotic cat faces. I'll stick to woven fabric for the next batch.

​

3. Cat Shrinky Drink charms. I drew this cat a few years ago. Recently found the drawing in an old sketchbook, scanned it, edited out the coffee spills, and printed onto inkjet Shrinky Dink film.
