today's project

Actually, there is more than one project going on around here, but this one is the most fun:
















brown kraft paper + carved eraser + acrylic paint = wrapping paper!
This stamp design is great because it can also be leaves on the top of stamped pears or apples, or back-to-back it could look like a butterfly.

Also, my fabric swatches from Spoonflower came!
















The yellow is a little too lemony bright for me, and the red apples have a darker border I'll have to get rid of (neither of which can be seen in the photo, actually).

And a far more tedious project... I decided to check out my blog posts in IE rather than just Firefox... and discovered some posts were laid out terribly! It took forever, but I fixed them. Having done some web design before, I should have known to check that a long time ago.

Hope you're having a crafty holiday season!

I love the wrapping paper idea! It is so cute. I have been following the Spoonflower blog for a little while now and it is so cool to see how someones project turned out. Very cool. I love the fabric design!
