The sketch for Just Add Ink is really a simple one, but I spent a lot of time deciding what to do; I'm still not certain that I stayed with the sketch. I decided on the image first because I'm digging through open drawers of old and new-unused stamps. I settled on The Goddess from Lost Coast, a simple piece of rubber that is now 20 years old. She's one of a handful of dramatic images that I used to use two decades ago. I stamped the goddess on a piece of ombre colored paper; choosing the background took more time. Finally, I decided on another ombre piece and pulled out a huge wood-mounted script stamp to create that background. One piece of black cord coordinated with the black borders of each layer.
