turtles finally done!

i'm super excited that my turtles are finally done! yay! they look so cute! i've done lots that coordinate with the skirts my mom is making (hickity-pickity.com) and in both boy and girl colors. they turned out great. check out http://www.blue-pelican.com/turtle.html to see lots of examples. now if i could just get my reversible chalkcloth placemats and all of my stamped silver jewelry ready i could feel like i'm ready for the shows!

steps one and two


the first step in making my hand stamped pieces is getting the appliques done! it's a good thing i've got a nice big table.














step two is mixing up the colors for the background stamps. when i was washing off my spoons i had to take a picture of all of the colors. so pretty.
