I really ought to pay more attention to the descriptions on eBay. I ordered a tea-themed rubber stamp on there recently because it was just a few dollars and featured a design I didn't have (a retired one from 1996).
And the stamped design ended up being 5-1/2 inches wide, which is a lot wider than I'd expected.
So I just started stamping and coloring. The design will fit on large cards, and I think if I cut these into narrow strips, they would fit around a jewelry box as a cute decorative "band" the next time I'm giving someone a jewelry gift. I ended up doing most of the rows in a single-color palette, mainly because coloring is what I do when I'm watching a Zoom conference or webinar these days. Oddly enough, I get distracted and don't pay attention unless I have something to do with my hands. Meanwhile, if you have any creative ideas for what to do with 5-1/2-inch wide strips of teapots, please share!
Oh, those are darling. You could easily mask off parts of them (I use sticky notes for that) if you wanted to stamp smaller sections, such as the 3 on the right or the two on the left - or the 3 in the middle, even, Your coloring is excellent, and I understand the need to have something doing when watching webinars - I tend to fall asleep otherwise.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, Joy! I was actually wishing I could chop the stamp up to get those smaller parts, but I see what you mean about how masking could work. I haven't tried that but have already seen videos about using the PostIts for that, so guess what I'll be doing this weekend? ;)
DeleteYour coloring really makes those teapots come to life!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a good idea to color while you're on Zoom conferences. It IS hard to keep one's focus during them. If you're coloring, you can look like you're taking notes!
You could make bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteHow about some recipe cards?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a fun idea, Unknown! Thanks! :)
DeleteI just love seeing how you have colored them.
