Hi Everybody!
Hope you are having a good week. It's hotting up again here, not my fave, but at least it got the laundry dried in record time.
I have been playing with the stamps I made at my group these past weeks, and have been printing them onto rather large (A2) sheets, just having fun and relaxing.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday.
This head is about A4 in size so 4 fitted nicely onto one sheet:
I kept the Buddha heads all the same colour:
The cheeky cat faces:
And with a digitally added quote:
Colourful ladies:
(I need to use a ruler next time I try this!)
The photos were taken on our way home on Saturday afternoon:
Flowers 'on the rocks'
There were 3 herons searching the field for edibles:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Wow! Your stamps are fabulous Valerie! Great photos too. I'm just off for my daily walk, hopefully it's not as hot now!
ReplyDeleteLove all the colourful prints, wow! They make very striking pictures. Great photos, as always, that was a lovely walk you had. The little one is sick just now, and rather cranky! Have a nice evening, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteAwesome and huge stamps Valerie - they all look great!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and walk :)
Keep cool if you can and enjoy the rest of the week.

I’ve been complaining about my gimpy keyboard for awhile, but my mouse has always worked great. That is, until today. I had to buy a new mouse just so I could maneuver between blogs. That’s why I’m really late visiting.
ReplyDeleteI love all your hand carved stamps, but those cats are the best of the best. Even Bleubeard agrees (grin).
Your photos from our walk are fabulous. I was so impressed with the diversity of photos you took. I loved the photo of the lavender flowers, and of the guys reading the map.
Hope you are doing OK. We are under a heat advisory until late Saturday due to extreme heat conditions.
Valerie you are one talented lady, to be able to cross over from the smallest size to the largest and cut these with precision is amazing, you really have an eye for detail which shows up perfectly within the stamped images.
ReplyDeleteI love how the green has transferred with the blue paint on those larger faces.. Magnificent.
Hugs Tracey xx
Your talent is pretty amazing, and like you, I adore colorful things. Something about the bright hues that makes life more fun. With scenery that pretty, I would have no excuse not to go out walking and exercise if I lived there Valerie. It all just looks so peaceful and inviting. Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteIthink you are the true stamp queen my friend. I love seeing them all, and I don't remember seeing the Buddha before. It is great. And it looks like you saw some beautiful scenery on your walk for certain. You have so many interesting places to walk near you for sure. Thanks for sharing your photos. Hugs-Erika
