No don't worry, I'm not sending out a distress call, May Day is hopefully going to be the day when something very exciting happens for me.
I'm buzzing with excitement :0).... I've been bursting to announce that last year I started putting together a few squiggles and sketches and Stampotique Originals based in the USA is releasing them on May 1st 2010, May Day, as stamp designs!
I'm sitting here wishing that the volcanic ash would disappear from European airspace so that the first pressings of rubber will land on my doorstep asap from Arizona so that I can make a few examples to show.
I hope you find something amongst them that you like. I've tried to be quite varied with the stamp images and have included a few sneak peeks in this post.
Some stand alone, others are more a case of mix and match with either each other or other stamps from the Stampotique ranges.
Some are tiny....
Some are average sized...
Some are MASSIVE!!
And some believe it or not are all three!! (you'll see what I mean on May 1st)
Its something I've always wanted to do and can't thank Carol at Stampotique enough for approaching me with the suggestion and giving me the opportunity to be able to do this.
Edit to say....(thanks 'kjjc' for the reminder),
Happy Daze here in the UK will be stocking the stamps asap!
I can't wait for this!! I just know I will want them all!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's just soo exciting, well done you! I shall look forward to seeing what you've created xx
