Stamping!

I have been on a little vacation and I will share some photos of

my trip to Los Cabos hopefully over my next post but before I

wanted to share my stamping fascination with you!

Carving my own stmaps is a fun activity and I am addicted

to it, I want to make tons of them and become great at it, 

so far I`ve done fabulous stamps that I love and here I share

with you how my collection is coming along! 

I am loving it! It`s easy and I love how they look even just like that!

And I love painting with them!

And it`s fun to mix with my purchased collection like in this journal page!

I hope you are having a great weekend so far! 

Make the best out of it and be happy!

Love.... Moni.

Carved stamps!

 I have been a stamp lover for a long time, I don`t know what it

is but I have to have every design I see in the stores and it can be 

quite an expensive obsession!  

So a few years a go I decided to make my own and it`s 

been a slow journey and I keep learning and finding things about it, 

it`s a hard job and takes a lot of precision and care but it`s worth it!

I have been practicing for a long time now and my collection keeps growing!

I will never have enough I think!  Here are a few with elements I love...

Hours of fun play with them, can you tell?

This bellow are my first stamps to be offered for sale in my Etsy shop, I hope, dream 

and wish they sell well, I think they are pretty good and cute! Please wish me luck!!!

This little guy bellow  is so cute I can`t stand it!  

Don`t you think he`s adorable!

This flower has two sides, I like making a different design in both sides and I love

the frame! It really feels good when you create something original doesn`t it?

I am having a give away over my facebook page, two prints of my original paintings

will be given this next June 6th and you are invited to join and write a comment here

so I can count you in the draw!  Please like my page while you are there, I need all

the love I can get and you will be appreciated and loved back! ;D

Manos

Manos, hands in spanish are still a subject of inspiration as you

 can see in this new works, I`ve used them as a stamp, pretty 

much like we are taught when children and I combined my 

hands with other stamps I`ve recently created like the one in the center,

 it`s very  light here for I used a very extended white so the colors 

bellow could  also bee seen...hopefully! ;D

This other one is a current page on my journal and I love the strong colors!

I am still loosening up and having tons of fun! It`s taking me to different 

directions, art is a beautiful amazing universe!

Here you can see some of my carved stamps, I love them `cause it`s cheap and

easy to find and keep me practicing on carving, I`ve recently made a huge

order to the US for some carving materials and I just can`t wait for them to

arrive, it`s gonna be a blast!

I am visiting a crafts and arts show today over the WTC here in Mexico city, I love

going and getting inspired and being able to see all of the retailers in one place,

some come from very far places and it`s hard to find their amazing products other 

way and the good news is that it`s all for sale!  So I will share some photos of

 my day in my next post! ;D

Have a beautiful day!
