Test Notebook #2

Acid Test

In the spirit of my test/error cards, I attempted something similar yesterday morning on a blank 9x12 piece of paper. 

Studio WIP

The new studio is coming along. I’ll be happy to have a sink just for art. 

New Supplies

John and I went to an estate sale on Saturday. The sale had already been going on for a week so it was 50% off. From the photos, the woman had been a very serious crafter with massive amounts of scrapbook and craft materials including rubber stamps. I thought I had alot of stuff, but this woman was definitely on a hoarder level.  I was told she taught classes which might explain the entire finished attic space filled top to bottom with supplies. Unfortunately, most of her stamps were  Stampin’ Up which I’m not a big fan of because they’re on the cute side. I knew she would have some stamp pads and reinkers and I did find some still in the package. I bought some clear stamps which I don’t normally buy, but everything was dirt cheap so I thought I’d give them a try. I did buy a couple of Stampin’ Up stamps that were basic shapes or designs. I also bought a bunch of clear plastic clamshell boxes which will be perfect for storing extra unmounted stamps. 

Hot Tuna

Making kooky artiststamps combined with vintage rubber stamps that are racehorse names.
