Making new stamps

I made some stamps quickly using the instructions in this years Quilting Arts Gifts Magazine. I almost followed the instructions. The magazine said to cut the thin foam into simple shapes and glue to a cardboard. I used the fun foam that had adhesive on the back and stuck the shaped to a thicker fun foam rectangular shape. What fun! The fun foam holds paint real well and I could stamp til there was no paint for s long while. I plan to make up some more. I stamped onto sketch book paper that I had first cleaned off a brayer I was finished with. Conservation!

Conservation Quotes

My FAN group is exhibiting at the Jacksonville Main Library in October. The theme is "The Language of Conservation." This is my spray painted/stenciled entry. I googled the word "conservation" to come up with the definition, synonyms and some quotes to use. I backed the spray painted/stenciled canvas with felt and stitched the words. I cut it up and arranged the pieces. The hanger is a piece of driftwood with a crocheted cord. Hope it gets juried in!! I entered a couple of art quilts as well.

"Conservation Quotes"

The painted canvas. I wrote in large letters the synonyms of conservation: protection, management, preservation, safe guard, safekeeping, restoration and maintenance using a marker. Then I spray painted using many stencils.
