Something About Nothing

Another flower from "garbage."  This piece is kind of 1" square. And as long as I don't smear them, they make nice flowers!

This bit of "garbage" rubber is a lot bigger than the last one.  I wanted to try something a little different with it. It makes for an interesting circle, or half circle in this case. I like it even better with a little watercolor.

When carving stamps you often end up with a lot of small pieces of leftover rubber.  The technical term is "garbage."  Hahaha  Most of the pieces are strips too small to do anything with, but there are often small pieces which can be used to create great garbage stamps.  They don't take long to carve and often end up creating beautiful patterns. The day after I created this garbage stamp I saw where Katie Turner used her small triangle garbage stamp to create a skirt for a drawn image.  I thought it was so brilliant I had to try it with my little triangle. Mine could use some work but it was a fun idea to take for a spin!
