with my husband

of course we had a few drinks and did a little gambling

do you know that Las Vegas is one of the top 5 cities for art?

the highlight of my weekend was visiting the

the Bellagio

2,000 Chihuly hand-blown glass flowers

i also went to the

bellagio gallery of fine art

on my birthday no less

Showcasing 20 works by the founder of French Impressionist painting, "Claude Monet: Impressions of Light" also presents eight other canvases by Monet's predecessors and contemporaries, including Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Camille Pissarro, and Eugene Louis Boudin. It was from Monet's collaboration with these painters, along with his solitary explorations of the French countryside, that his own signature style eventually emerged.

today's creation

i craved an "ART" stamp
this will be prefect to stamp on the  packages i send my art in
the how to...
i wrote the word "ART" on a piece of paper with a charcoal pencil
then laid the paper (charcoal side down) on the stamp and rubbed the paper
then the image is on the stamp in reverse
then carve around the word art
 then when you stamp it, it will read ART...
