just a bit of inspiration...








Hey guys...
As most of you know...I'm a md here...a development pediatrician...caring of diseable children on a family-based approach at a huge rehab public hospital as my full-time job...the last 28y.
Since I was a teen I've been a weekend crafter...no formal art education....but always a lot of fun...lol...dirty jeans apron...varnish stinking....rubber stamps carved by hand...paints all over the place......short long story...a lovely BIG BIG MESS...lol

From today to July,13 I'll be out of town...another state....another rehab hospital...helping a great rehab team interviewing new doctors, PT, RN nurses, psychologysts, educators....who have applied to work on our network of rehab public hospitals.

Then I'm not sure if I will have free time on evenings to make some cut files...anyway my macbook is always by my side....if it is possible I will upload new files on evenings...if not......I will compensate my absence...when I come back home....lol

Meanwhile I'll let you with those pictures as inspiration.
This beach handbag I made a couple of years ago....when I never had heard about electronic cut machines. Its just an unnexpensive dollar store handbag...decorated with some fabric cut by hand... beige cotton...stamped using rubber stamps & FABRICO ( no affiliation)inkpads...glued using GOLDEN strong matte gel(no affiliation)....after that pressed the glued fabric cut using my hot craft iron...at last an acrylic matte varnish to finish the project. I like the color combo, the tiny rubber stamps designs....and the "fabric veneer" look...against the textured background.
Hope you get inspired by that....BECAUSE NOW..... YOU( me too...lol) have an electronic cut machine+SCAL...to give (us) a little helping hand...LOL

The polymer clay necklaces& bangle were made..... when I was used to make some polymer clay pieces 10y ago .....as you can see...asian designs have a strong influence on me...as can prove by chinese paper- cut hand carved rubber stamps....LOL

At last ....some silk scarves stamped by hand.

bye for now&take care

ROFL...after uploading those butterflies I was already listening a remote Cio-Cio-san whispering on my ears......LOL....:
"Chi sarà? chi sarà?
E come sarà giunto
che dirà? che dirà?
Chiamerà Butterfly dalla lontana."
