These are polymer test copies of the new stamps I carved for Andrew. Remember a few months ago I asked what folks thought I should make to help Andrew with his cancer bills? Well, a lot of folks mentioned making a painting, or a doll, which are good ideas, just a tiny bit too time consuming. Those things take ages to make, especially when my time is so limited, so he wouldn't see money for awhile. He thought the stamps would be a good idea since he could produce them himself. We talked about what designs to make and spent a pleasant afternoon sketching and drinking coffee. We agreed on these designs (although the serpent is a fun extra I knew he would like!) and I just finished carving them last night. I will carve more designs for GGS to debut at Bead and Button, but these little lovelies will only be available at Andrew's shop.
Oh the bird and owl already have me gaga! Lovely stamps!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia, wow you guys are so lucky to have each other, very inspiring & i love them all i especially love owls & skulls ttfn L:)
ReplyDeleteI must have that bird! Beautiful work, as always.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this so much! It means so much to me. While the majority of it is paid off now, I've still got a small lump of medical debt I'm working away at. These will most definitely help with that!
ReplyDeleteThe stamps turned out great! Can't wait to press some out! Thanks again for this!!!!
Truly lovely, as always, Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteI Iove the owl of course.
I love the owl in flight! You see an owl sitting so much, it's nice to see one in flight. This will be a very unique component! All of the other designs are wonderful as well, and I think this collaboration with your brother is quite beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these. The bird and snake are ones I'll need to get.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a snake clasp will be in your future Cynthia - there aren't many out there and I want some!
