As typically happens, something caught my attention as&nbsp;I was trying to&nbsp;tidy up and here I am, twenty-four hours later, with only this to show for my weekend.&nbsp;It is a sheet of 24&nbsp;2&#215;2 inch artistamps. I sewed perforations&nbsp;into a background&nbsp;made from a wallpaper sample, punched circles out of some of&nbsp;the lovely, hand-marbled&nbsp;book liner paper I acquired&nbsp;online, and printed off&nbsp;scans of my hands that I took&nbsp;over a year ago. I printed the hand scans onto brown paper bag paper and then I spent many hours&nbsp;cutting out the hands, inking around the edges and&nbsp;trying out different arrangements in the squares before adhering them to the paper. Then I inked some more. Voila, another weekend gone and I am no closer to fulfilling my obligations&nbsp;or reaching my goals. Oh well, maybe someone will say that I am &#8220;handy&#8221; to have around.&nbsp;My scanner did not get the entire sheet, but you get the idea. I am&nbsp;calling this my &#8220;grubby paws&#8221;&nbsp;artistamp set.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have several&nbsp;art commitments, not to mention my cards and&nbsp;gifts&nbsp;for&nbsp;family and friends, that I really *should* be working on.&nbsp;Yesterday, I &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/grubby-paws\/\">Continue reading &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ashazart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
