Ornamental doodling at 1AM

Well, it's 1:oo am now and I can't find sleep yet so I decided to just mess around with some new stamps I carved tonight of some historical ornamental flowers and acanthus leaves. I will show you the stamps individually tomorrow maybe but I made this hodge podge ornamental doodle. Nothing was planned, I just stamped around a d tried to fill in the spaces with some filigree. It was fun actually. but now I am yawning and typing things wrong. So good night for now. Hopefully Mr Sandman is coming my way.

    Martha, those stamps are stupendous. You could sell stamps on your Etsy shop. They're beautiful.

    Wow! I think you are a "night person" at heart. This is beautiful, and hope it relaxed you to the point of sleep.

    Love your hand carved stamps. Your lack of sleep collage is another amazing art piece. Happy sleeping and creating...
