Three New Coaster Designs

Here’s a little overview of my three new coasters.  Which one do you like best? For me, it seems like my favorite is the one in my hand at the moment.

These creative hands have come to represent, at least for ME, creativity in all humankind.

Sweet as a daisy.

Making the keyboard look good.

Really love this design.

And here they are, all together. :)

I wanted to take a couple shots to show how shiny and reflective they are. LOVE! ❤️ And yes, we keep Christmas lights up all year ‘round in this window, hence the reflections.

You can find all these on my website, colorcatstudios101.etsy.com

You can also follow me on Instagram as Color_Cat_Cindy :). See you!

Carved Woodblock

This is a woodblock I carved into a chrysanthemum.  I used it to make prints and suppose I made about 100 before I retired it.  As for ME, I want to retire my printing blocks before they start to crack and split as I consider them things of beauty in themselves. You can never get them entirely clean after each use, and I consider the leftover paint hiding in the cracks part of our history together, this block and me.  


Although technically it’s a tool, I consider it a piece of art in its own right and love it for itself.  It really is a beautiful thing, isn’t it? I have it resting on a shelf to happy it up for me each morning.  Here’s a side view, with the little indentations carved for handles.
