cabbage stamping
purple cabbage, stamping |

Sometime between living in Mexico, Japan and California, I formed a loving relationship with cabbage. I love it on tacos, salsa, stir-fry and salads. Recently, from a fellow blogger, wrightstuff, I discovered that the cabbage ends can be used as a stamp.
In the photo above you can see the cabbage end sitting on my art table. I cover my art table with paper and often doodle or try out colors on that paper. The bird drawing in the next photo was actually an impromptu drawing I did on my art table paper. It's hard to imagine that technology will be able to replace the pencil and paper method. I just love the feeling of the pencil edging across the paper.

I LOVE this! (I love cabbage too. Hate brussel sprouts though. Which makes very little sense but it is what it is.)
