Nov to lots of people - Little houses and Ansel Adams stamps


My first idea with the little house stamps - rubber stamps - was to use the Ansel Adams stamps. From time to time I wish I had a black and white USPS stamp - but then when I get some, I don't remember why I wanted them. These are fine. I had fun.

I penciled in a horizon line on Irene's and it was dreadful, so I erased it. I took a picture to show exactly how bad it was. Yuk. I smallerized it so it doesn't give anyone upset eyes.


Then I did some more - with different combinations of rubber stamps - different weights of markers. I was trying to put in extra letter-spacing - something I don't do, but I always like it when I see it in the work of others.




I tried a different style of lettering - which was a nice change of pace. I think I used a silver Sharpie and then outlined it.


And Susan got a bird sitting on her roof as an homage to the bird-on-the-head series from long, long ago.
