Ancient Travel

Well....it was time for another "envie" swap at my art group.

The theme for this months envelope was "travel".... whatever came to mind. Oh yes...and there had to be at least 3 rubber stamps used.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do until I suddenly remembered some Egyptian stamps I've had for ages!!

Yep...a bit of ancient travel.

Used marker and colored pencils for the color in this one. I like the way it came out.

I'm going to have to remember these stamps in the future!

Had some quiet time

here at home this weekend. Took advantage and did some drawing for an atc draw-a-thon. Got four done.....

two pen & ink

and the lilly done in colored pencil and the tropical boat house done in marker.

I also broke out some of my new beading books and

taught myself a new beadweaving stitch.

I made these green glass bead earrings using some of my

favorite square green beads. They've got little garnet bead

accents.

I think they came out pretty nice for a first time. I've added them to my Etsy shop. I'm gonna try a few more variations on them.

I've also got another stitch in the works but haven't gotten it quite down yet. I think it'll be beautiful once I've figured it all out.
