How to Make a Stamp - Quick, Easy, and Cheap - Cloth Paper Scissors Today - Cloth Paper Scissors

How to Make a Stamp - Quick, Easy, and Cheap - Cloth Paper Scissors Today - Cloth Paper Scissors: "I've used a stylus (or a dry ball point pen) to make my stamps out of restaurant carry out styrofoam boxes.  TIP: With an Xacto knife, cut out all the FLAT areas of box (large and small) and store with supplies until the urge to make a new stamp hits.  I sometimes even used the leftover rounded areas for a "rolled" stamp, so only the little tab gets tossed out.

Free art supplies = green = good recycling practices.  This is styrofoam that does not go into a landfill somewhere."

Being Human, and All That - The Oil Painting Blog - Artist Daily: "There are enough people in our lives expecting unrealistic things of us that we don't have to be one of them. Falling down isn't failure. Trying and not getting it quite right isn't tragedy. Doing something completely different, just because, isn't a waste of time."

Cute, but apt, analogy.  Reminds us that practice makes perfect.

Where did I read/hear that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something?

Perhaps I'll be motivated to look that up someday.  Thus getting more practice at using search engines, which I suck at!
