art day posts to take a hiatus
Posted by Grá on May 15, 2009 in Scribbles, Constructions and Objects D'Art
Hey all,
Wow, it just occurred to me that i might not have time to write music and make art while doing the big push on the novel (and working my various day jobs.) Huh, go figure.
So, yeah, the art posts are going to take a month off. I’ll be excited to share more art and music with you in the middle of next month. See you then!

art day 66 – [crafts] spider cut rubber stamp
Posted by Grá on May 11, 2009 in Scribbles, Constructions and Objects D'Art
My friend Neil sketched a seven-legged spider for the end of one of his books. It’s a nice little drawing, so i sketched and cut my own version. I think mine is fuzzier.
art day 63 – [crafts] little dragonfly rubber stamp
Posted by Grá on May 8, 2009 in Scribbles, Constructions and Objects D'Art
I drew this one before the, far superior, other dragonfly stamp, but i cut it anyway.
J sez: “But it doesn’t really look like a dragonfly.”
I say: “Shut up, YOU don’t look like a dragonfly.”
Moving on…

And a moon (with a little star):
art day 57 – [crafts] mermaid cut rubber stamp
Posted by Grá on May 2, 2009 in Scribbles, Constructions and Objects D'Art
Based on a sketch by J, i cut this mermaid on a pretty big piece of thin rubber.
It’s a little hard to stamp, the middle wants to bubble and then doesn’t stamp as well. I discovered that if you start in the middle and then rub outward, it works pretty well.
art day 55 – [crafts] a couple of simple cut rubber stamps

art day 51 – [crafts] “Clown Approved” cut rubber stamp
Posted by Grá on Apr 26, 2009 in Scribbles, Constructions and Objects D'Art
Made this for A’s birthday yesterday. She’s a clown and has a whole clown manifesto that is so cool i wish it was online, so i could link to it. I figured she’d be able to … i dunno, approve things?
I hope she likes it.
