Creative Puttering While Quarantined: Horsing Around By Judi Kauffman for The Queen’s Ink

Recipe for a lazy afternoon:
  • Hand- or die-cut a simple silhouette of a horse from medium weight paper to create a stencil.
  • Use your heat tool to soften a Magic Stamp block, press it against a piece of cheap polyester lace to create a patterned stamp.
  • Stencil the horse with several dark colors.
  • Remove the stencil and use lighter colors for the ground and background.
  • Depending on the size:
  • Use your creation for a card front or a notepad.
  • Put it on the fridge and write notes or positive words around it each day while quarantined.

YOUR TURN
  • Add a horn and turn the horse into a unicorn!
  • Hand-or die-cut a bunch of horses and stamp onto all of them, string them together for a garland.
  • Paint, stencil and/or doodle instead of stamping.
  • Instead of a horse, choose any other simple shape - bunny, flowers, cat, leaf.
  • Work directly into your art journal instead of on sheets of paper.
