I am looking forward to watching them come to life in your work of Art! <I>(because that's what it is you know, ART!)</I>. I'm such a paisley girl. This is going to be fun. I quite enjoy the stamp work you've done. I like the effect of the different tones and I love the color, too. <br /><br />You continue to intrigue me and your talent is just mmmm, mmmm, good!*karendianne.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15557033346962825857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-35178178168078953622009-05-28T05:45:37.173-05:002009-05-28T05:45:37.173-05:00I'm eager to see the arrangement you decided on fo...I'm eager to see the arrangement you decided on for the paisley pieces.<br /><br />Almost all stamp images become more ghostly without re-inking, but I love that effect.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-78662330980523828492009-05-27T19:05:29.966-05:002009-05-27T19:05:29.966-05:00I have used those sponges that are paper thin util...I have used those sponges that are paper thin util wet to stamp letters on tee shirts.

I heat set it with the iron just in case. I know there is fabric ink but I haven't seen that the difference between the two is appreciable. Dickblick.com has some products specifically for carving a stamp. I hve tried it and the image for me anyway is just not as clear as a die cut rubber stamp-I am not a <br />carving pro.<br /><br />Stencils come to mind as another option.Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-22129511875318773752009-05-27T14:24:02.758-05:002009-05-27T14:24:02.758-05:00i use a product called ezi-cut. its relatively ch...i use a product called ezi-cut. its relatively cheap and easy to carve with a lino tool and gives a nice clean line. i bought it at an art supply shop. it is similar in texture to a plastic eraser but with a much bigger surface area. erasers are ok, but small. i havent used my stamps with paint, just ink pads, but there is no reason why it wouldnt work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-37561413732663497732009-05-27T13:41:59.038-05:002009-05-27T13:41:59.038-05:00Now that is "fussy" cutting!

The tool is a Speedball lino cutter which costs about $5 and can be seen here:<br />http://www.dickblick.com/products/speedball-linoleum-cutters/<br />I did see a very good video of someone cutting a stamp but I forget where I found it now.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-17581318416307372362009-05-27T12:50:21.945-05:002009-05-27T12:50:21.945-05:00Thanks, Deb.

The styrofoam things are about like foam core in that they only make one clear image, and the others are either hard to carve, or don't make a clear shape, just patterns. Love the way bubble wrap looks though. Erasers are supposed to be good, but they don't carve easily either, I've found. I guess I'll keep looking.

I also like onion bags to paint & stamp or lay over & paint over.<br /><br />Foam from meat & egg cartons is another easy to carve & shape material. I also love stamping with real leaves. Wine corks make fun easy small stamps. I carve both ends. You could even cave the sides for a roller stamp image.<br /><br />Possibilities are pretty endless when you get going.Deb Hardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538758042536664177noreply@blogger.com
