Our lesson last week consisted of making stamps using the stickie back kids foam. I have done this in the past but I sure had a heck of a time deciding what to carve! I ended up using an applique pattern for a flower head I found in a magazine! Creative...I know! HA
The top two stamps are ones I made several, several years ago and I decided I might as well use them along with my 'newest' stamp(s). You may recognize the square/circle stamp, which I've used a lot.
I also wanted to use up some of the acrylic paints as well as some of the dyes I have mixed up. We leave in two weeks so I'll be tossing the dyes since I need all the space in my boxes I already have for my art supplies. I used primarily Indigo and Turquoise dyes for over dyeing these papers.
So here is my latest homework completed. These are probably the most unattractive papers I've made but still fun to do and good experience! I think I prefer the papers before I over dyed....
Once again I'm showing the papers stamped and then the same paper over dyed.
