Lolliscotch Candy Co.

Two great things from childhood Lollipops + Hopscotch = Lolliscotch!

Lolliscotch is my new endeavor. I've wanted to make candy for awhile now, and just this weekend, that dream became a reality. Our first batch was Cantaloupe flavored, they smelled and tasted wonderful, we were happy with the results. I carved some new stamps for the labels, and I'm quite happy with the design. These are in the trial period, but I'm hoping to make them available soon through my Etsy shop. Here are a few photos:






And a quick thank you to my partner in crime - you Rock!

Mixed Tape Stamp - Address Label?

Cool PDX Stamp Find

When I recently visited one of my favorite coffee shops in PDX (The Fresh Pot) I noticed how wonderful the stamped images are on the cups. Reason enough to order up, but the coffee's good, too!

Recent Stampy Ventures

I've been carving a lot lately, but neglecting to post. Here are some stamps from the last couple of weeks:

Paper Crane:


Hedgehog (not incredibly happy with his weird hair line, mostly because I could have so easily made this stamp better):


Fun Craphound image:


Pear stamp with two faces:

QUICK PIC - Holy Self-Promotion Batman!

All Ages Telephone Party Stamp

This is an image from Craphound that I've always loved. This stamp needed an ungodly amount of touching up, but I really dig it.

Inchies: 1X1 Art (Sorry dial-uppers!)

I made these inchies for a swap quite awhile back. Inchies are a great way to indulge in short bursts of creativity. I hadn't heard of this until the Inchies Swap was posted, but I was hooked instantly. The swap gallery has many more examples.

I started by collaging a sheet of heavy watercolor paper:

Here are the pieces I sent into the wild:

And some of my favorites, selfishly kept for myself:
