My First 100 Proof Press Design Piece!

Finally, I have finished my first piece of art using one of the many outstanding stamps from 100 Proof Press.  I do believe the best part about being a member of such a gaggle of creative sorts is the diversity in how we see...use...and create with stamps.  My creative process has always been quite organic.  I begin...let the piles of stuff guide me...glue, stitch, embellish and now stamp to form a unique piece of me.

This piece was done while on vacation at Rosemary Beach!  To say "sit a spell" is an understatement of what I have had thrashing through my brain for the last few days.  Which came first the need or the stamp?  ....hmmm?

Once again, the canvas is layers of old linen book covers and a bingo card adorned with a tiny stitched piece on old bark cloth....then simply, but ever so sweetly, this precious chair stamp (2601-Q).  I feel certain I sat in an old oak chair just like this at my Grandmother's house.


My first piece of art for 100 Proof Press.....so, just "Sit a Spell".......
