don´t

I wanted to try out my face stencil I recently got but never had neither the time nor the muse to use.
I started the background once again with my handcarved stamps and then tried my luck - and for a 1st time I do not think it was too bad. Watching other artists, colouring faces in minutes, I really wanted to try it - thanks there was at least that face stencil to help me out with the proportions :) And of course, I needed more than 5 minutes or less. And colouring a face with acrylics was another challange for me - I rather do aquarell.....

You might not be able to read the quote very well so here it is in a more readable way:

Don´t let the thoughts that come from your mind get in the way of the feelings that come from your heart.

a new challange at scrappy frog with free choice

At http://scrappyfrogschallenge.blogspot.de/ we have a new challange with a free choice theme, so I really do hope to see many of you there.
I choose to play with my new toys and that´s what I did

The guy is from the new stamp plates of de Stempelwinkel (the EKG as well even though it´s an older stamp of de Stempelwinkel but a new one for me :)  ), phrase by Tim Holtz and the tiny squares are from paperartsy.
I recycled the left-over paper of the watch die (having used the watch for something else) and I really did like the idea.
Have a great day XX



There´s something else I want to show you - a journaling page with my own sortiment of handcarved stamps - that´s really addictive.

And I have realized that health is one of the things we take for granted until they are no longer granted.
I have to check-in tonight my daugher to the children hospital again to get the last checks next week. I only can hope they finally have found a reason for her fiebre and constant illnesses.
Have a great Sunday and don´t forget to be thankful :)

Best DAD
