Digital Stamps

I have several digital stamp files, wondering if they would be useful clip arts for TeachersPayTeachers.

Just printed some out onto watercolor paper as a batch of Patron rewards.  Debating whether or not I should color them with my shimmering watercolors or send them blank for them to paint/color as they please.

These can be attached to a card face as focal images of greeting cards, or added to art journals, scrapbook and mixed media collages.  I've tested my printer ink and it doesn't seem to bleed with a light amount of watercolor.  Not sure how it would do with a heavy wash yet.

These are currently available on my Patreon and also my Gumroad as digital downloads.  Print on paper of choice and they are ready to go.  If you have a laser printer, you can do image transfers, just remember to mirror the image first.  That is the ideal method of transferring digital stamps into art collage/art journals, as it gives it a perfect blend.  But you can also print onto tissue paper, attach it to card stock securely first, and then, print and it can be decoupaged into the project and the paper will fade into the bg.

So, opinion poll, painted or not?

Watercolor Zen Doodle Printable

Free Download on TpT

Finished scanning and uploading my watercolor doodle from last night.  This was a great way to wind down after boning up on lesson plans for Chase.  I stayed up way too late.  This seems to be every night.  These are now available both the freebie and the complete set of full resolution images as clip art with permissions for personal and commercial use.

I've also made the download for the entire set available to my Patrons on Patreon who pledge $1 or more per month.  I have about a year's worth of free download content exclusive to my Patrons, and access to all of that is only $1.  Patreon is a crowdfunded platform where people subscribe to creators at a pay-what-you -want model.  Some creators offer rewards.  I offer all my digital downloads to various levels of my Patronage.  Higher tiers have access to everything.  I also offer more rewards, like Artist Trading Cards.   I mostly have artwork there, but will also be sharing my teaching resources.

Word Search

Here's a fun little word search generator and database.  I found this in Google Chrome's app store.  You can create your own word list or solve one from their site.  You can list yours publicly, privately, embed on your site or print them out.  Might make a good handout.  You can't edit the grid size though.  So it might be a bit hard for younger kids or those who are not practiced at word searches.  Chase has found them to be daunting tasks and not interested.  I'll probably need to make one using his favorite words like "boom", "gun" and "sword".
