SNAKE CHARMER


This scene holds a special place for me:  we spent 6 months in Bangladesh in 1999 and loved the people, the music, the colors, and the culture, including the snake charmers.  Stamp credits: woman is from Cherry Pie; snake charmer is from Golden Acorn; cloth bag, arbor, grass in left corner are all from Third Coast Stamps; palm tree and cobra are from 100 Proof Press.

Cat and Moon

This card was created using 2 stamps:  cat, and moon scene.  Both stamps are from unknown companies.  Colored with Copic, Prisma, and Sharpie markers, pencils, Radiant Pearls.  Layered over shimmer cardstock and textured paper from India.

OLD FRIENDS

This scene was done as a challenge to myself to use stamps from my collection that don't have a fine-line realistic look (with the exception of the frog).  The source for most of these odd stamps is unknown, and I've never seen anything even remotely like them in a catalog.  Sun isClub Stamp  and pine tree is Penny Black.
