it is absolutely the coolest thing to see one of your designs in a stamp...add to that the fact that i can try new things each time i stamp her and i am in love. she is one of my favorites simply because i see myself in her.
sometimes i see her drowning (metaphorically), sometimes floating and sometimes her hair blowing up un the wind.
today i tried some fun stuff, made mistakes, corrected mistakes and had fun. enjoyed the process.
the stamp was made from this original painting entitled, "falling deeper"
. it is painted on a large gallery wrapped canvas (36 x 18") and it one of my favorite faces thus far.

She's fabulous! I've found that the paint in Montana pens always smears whatever I put on top of it and no matter how long I spend drying it. Not impressed.

What a great spread!
I love the finished pages, but loved witnessing your process too ~ thanks for the inspiration!

This is so beautiful. But...I think if you washed the whole thing in black it would look much better. HaHa!! No, it's amazing, and when I see her, I see her maybe hanging upside down. I don't know...you know how I am. Love it!!!
