i'm still having a ball playing with the little thumbprint people......but after spending several minutes at the sink with some soap, water, and baby wipes to get the mess off of my fingers, i decided that i would carve up a couple of stamps to help keep my fingers a little less inky. i carved a thumbprint, and a pinky fingerprint.....
and then used them to create a page in my journal (that's me and my little dutch sweetie....can you see the resemblance? heeheeheee). this is waaaaay too much fun......makes me outright belly laugh!!
have a great weekend!!

Love your work! This is such a great piece!
i love this. have a great weekend.
Oh Lori you are on Thumb roll, just adorable. Hugs
So cute! I carve stamps as well and I've never thought to do a thumb print. Fun idea.
I love that you broke out the magnifying glasses to create your stamps. And it's so sweet that you were inspired by your husband -the holding hands detail is very cute.
Lori: Are you familiar with Ed Emberly ? He is an artist and children's book author. Has a whole book I think of fingerprint picture. Very cute idea, the stamp.
Well I never! What fun. A fingerprint rubber stamp! Hee hee!
awww so sweet, your a gifted carver Lori!
thumbs up for the thumb people!
you so make me smile!!!
Happy day to you!!
You sure do know how to spread the love and smiles! Too cute! I probably should know this, but do you recommend a good, economical place to get those tools and carving goodies for making stamps? I really do want to learn to do this! If you don't mind...thank you, lori! ~K
Lori, This is just tooo cute! I would have never thought of doing something like this. What a great project to do with my grand daughter. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great weekend.
