The Generosity of Friends

There are many things I like about the internet and one of them is the many friends I've made in the on line art community. I have friend on 

several continents!  

Something I've found is that a lot of artists are introverts and some border on loners. Most artists I have met are also very generous. 

An example of that generosity is my friend, T, from T's Crafty Ways.   I commented on Facebook that I needed the stamp of this little boy fishing so I could make cards for my bother and dad.  The next day, the stamp was on my door step.  

Granted... T and I live in the same town but since we both tend to stay home and work on our art, that was a pretty fast turn around for a passing wish.  Thank you, T and Mike, the milkman and art supply courier.  

These little guys are stamped on samples of mixed media and watercolor paper.  I used Versa Mark ink and black ultrafine embossing power.  I rediscovered my Lyra Watercolor Crayons in a drawer recently and I've become addicted to them.  I use a fine tip water brush with them and it is a breeze to finish a card in just a few minutes.  I would like to hug who ever invented the water brush.  It makes watercoloring a small piece so easy.  I don't know who made the stamp. I'm hoping T will comment and let us know.
