One of the most fun things about creating a new painting is being able to translate it into other forms of art I love to create like handcarved stamps and colorful collages.It is so much fun to create these stamps because you need to break down in your mind what you want to print (black) and what you want to take away (white).
The black pugs carve up much quicker than the fawn ones because there is less to carve away. :)
To show you how I make them and how easy they are to create, I created a tutorial on Squidoo to show how I make my stamps.
and while surfing the web the other day, I found this cute French Pug hard at work. Maybe we should tell him about working for the snuggle puggle, Eduardo.
I love thinking about all of the puggies all over the world making people smile. :)
Happy Thursday everyone!
