Daily Sketch Reprise: Stamped Kitty

After I finished up stamping part of my designs on a few notecards, I decided to have a little fun with the stamps. I won a basket of feline-themed stamps in a drawing several years ago and have a number of other nature-themed stamps as well, but I rarely use them. I just forget. I love stamping but rarely remember it exists. I’ve been playing around with collections of shapes or objects that, placed together in patterns, make up an image. This was Jelly Bean with his paws rolled under on the table in my studio. I let the kitty face stamp run out of ink to make lighter areas, then used fresh ink and layers to create darker areas. I think the stamp was a little big to achieve what I had in mind, but I still think it’s cute. I used one of my name stamps to go with it, rather than signing.

What else was I sketching on this date?

Bathing, 2013

I have to laugh because I started out with something entirely different in mind and ended up with another sketch of them bathing. I had originally intended to sketch the three tucked together in a box in charcoal pencil but decided I had plenty of sketches of them sleeping in boxes. I have plenty of sketches of them bathing together too! Well, I guess that’s what they do most of the time, so naturally my sketches are going to look like that…Giuseppe is washing his belly, Mewsette is behind him washing her hip and Bean kept looking at me as if he expected me to feed them again.
