Tuesday Tips and Techniques: Stamp Your Foot!

That's right - add some acrylic paint and stamp your foot (or feet) into your journal!  It's summer, and a perfect time for playful journaling and childlike fun.


Today's technique was inspired by a comment that Michele Mary of Movin' Muses, left on my blog post, "Give Yourself a Hand".  Never once did it cross my mind to use my feet, but Michele Mary's comment, "What a great idea to use your hand as a self portrait. We could use our feet, too!", sparked this fun page.

I used artist craft acrylic to paint the bottom of my foot, and that act in and of itself, was freeing and just downright FUN!  A little soap and water clean up, and my foot was good as new.  A few wavy lines to add some colored pencil text, and voila!  It's one of the most joyful, playful things I've done in a while, and I highly recommend this activity.  Why let the kids have all the fun as you "Celebrate, LOVE, and Create!"

  4. This is a great page, love the colours. I keep wanting to do this with my puppy's paw so I have a printed log but so worried of the mess if he shot off before I managed to clean it - I guess a human counterpart is a safer bet lol much love jenny :)
