#8 - #12 / So nice to use the window stencil each day with my simple carved rubber stamps. 

Carve december #5, #6, #7

Thru my kitchen window...

Creative block...

I had time for art play this afternoon, but found myself with creative block. Tons of unfinished projects clutter my studio. Nothing spoke to me.  After the dog took me for a walk, I saw my gelli plate all lonely sitting on a pile of papers. I made a happy mess and enjoyed every minute!

carve december day #4 / black cat

I had to do a stamp/page for my sweet little black cat.  He is no longer with us, having disappeared in the fall.  The coyotes, hawks, and eagles have been too close for comfort and I fear one of them took him away.   He was my husband's favorite cat, always a fierce hunter and very protective of our other 2 cats.  We are missing him.

A current shot of what is actually out my kitchen window:

Keeping my carving super simple:

Carve December has begun! Be sure to #carvedecember2018 on instagram for some amazing art work.  I'm keeping mine super simple and very small.  I am not following the list of ideas, instead I will be carving things I see outside my kitchen window.
