Mmm… Stamps…

Mmm… Stamps…

I recently visited my friend Judy and got to see her studio space.  All I can say is “WOW!”  I had to go back out to my car and get my camera.  She has the most wonderful collection of stamps and other stuff.  I didn’t want to freak her out too much so I only took a couple of pictures of one wall of stamps. (Yes, a wall of stamps.  And there was another half wall and more unmounted stamps in cabinets and stuff.)  And, there is still much more according to Judy!  I was just dropping her home but we ended up playing around and talking for several hours.  So much fun!  Thanks Judy!

She is also an amazing artist.  I hope someday we can get her a website or blog so that she can share her work with more people. (hint hint) :)  It was truly inspiring to be in her space.

Secret Life of Bees

Secret Life of Bees

My mom recently hosted an ATC swap on the Yahoo group – ArtistTradingCards.  The theme was “Secret Life of Bees” and I made a bunch of digital cards for the swap.  I figured that since I didn’t have much time to work on them and I needed to make a bunch, I’d do a few digital cards and print out several copies.  This theory didn’t really work in practice though because I got so excited by the cards that I ended up spending a lot more time on them than I originally planned.  The digital stuff was a blast and I’ll definitely be doing more of this type of art.  Here are the cards i made for this swap.
