Mark making in your own art puts a 'signature' on your piece. And it is always hand wrought. Whether it's scratched, indented, embedded, sewn, or simply drawn, it's your mark on your art.
Can you copy a mark off a chart? Of course. Many of the markings in the chart above inspire me to use them. Much like the art you're making, it's your interpretation.
The marks I made above were from a recent post.

Such wonderful sentiment. For Christmas a few years back, Brandy and I treated each other to a "Made by...." stamp to use when we make cards. She chose the style design for mine and I can't tell you the delight I get from marking my cards with this stamp. I like the idea to make your own mark on projects. Thank you once again for inspiring me!
