After playing with my French cursive stamp and fabric paint yesterday, I decided to take a trip to Michael's today to see if I could find a few more, plus some other supplies. There are still good deals to be had out there at Michaels! They were having a BOGOF sale on stamps, and I scored 4 really nice wood block stamps for a very reasonable price! Also found a stencil to use on the t-shirt I referred to yesterday, although I'm having some difficulty finding Batik-EZ by Crafter's Pick. It's supposed to be available at Michael's, but we have a small store, and they didn't have it. So I got on the e-mail to Michael's and Crafter's Pick to see where I can get it. Meanwhile, I decided to audition my new stamps, using some of the fabric paints I have on hand:
The picture above shows a Clock face and a fern... I have learned that not all stamps do well with fabric paint... it floods too easily, as the Clock face stamp did. I think I will also need to get some metallic inks! But I love the fern, both in metallic as well as regular fabric paints!
Above is the silk scrap from before, with fern and clock face added... love the fern!
Here is the fern and a post card stamp, using regular fabric paint which I smeared onto several layers of paper towel. I ended up patting the paper towel over the post card stamp to get better coverage.
Here's a closeup shot of the fern with black fabric paint... not too much!
And a closeup of the fern on silk with gold metallic paint.
The fern with gold metallic paint on the cotton sample I was working on yesterday.
Finally, a closeup of the post card stamp with black fabric paint. Can't wait to get my Dyna-flo paints next week so I can give them a try!
