VERY happy our little jaunt was last week, before all the shut-downs! There are so
many things to see, a person could stay in Washington DC for a month just taking in
the sights.

one is a share for Altered Arts Magazine (the next issue is fixing to come out, yay!)--
a hand carved stamp, and let me tell you, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Can you tell what the stamp is supposed to be??
If not, here is a little peek of it in action:

joining in a huge Halloween themed blog hop for the month of October.
There are lots of prizes and project ideas along the way, so if you have a chance,
you may want to check it out.
(I'm thinking of making a series using the couple--The Adventures of Bertram
and Bettie. They look so VERY dramatic, it brings out the smarty pants in me!
They're actually silent film stars; if you know who they were in real life, let me
know, okay? Thank you! :)

Gorgeous pic of you and your daughter Trisha enjoying the sites and I just love your Halloween creation with Betram and Bettie. I loved your carved stamp too! Have a great weekend! xx
The shut-downs were covered on our news over here.
I simply love your hand-carved stamp, making me eager to carve another stamp myself.
You must create a series around this couple, oh the pure fun of it all.

(Lynne, I don't know why I think these two are so very funny--I just about giggle every time I look at them!!!)
:)
Glad you got to DC before the shut-downs--my daughter is there this weekend visiting a friend. Oh well, they will make the best of it.
Very cool flame stamp!
You both look adorable and what a good thing you did go when you did! That stamp is cool and I think it looks like flames, but remember how my mind works (talk about altered). Now that I see the fire under the romantic couple, I do believe I am correct! Enjoy the weekend!
i was there almost 45 years ago..and remember it vividly!
one could spend weeks at the Smithsonian..i have a huge photo album filled with pic's.
i remember being so moved at the Lincoln Memorial...one doesn't realize just how big it is!
looking at the photos of Amelia Earharts items brought back flashes of things i saw there..now,i think i'll go back and look through my album,visit history!
your hand carved stamp is fabulous!
Is it time to burn Bertram and Bettie before you get to start on their fun stories? Love your photos especially the one of you and your daughter and a brilliant carved stamp.
