I made a stamp

I made a stamp from cutup foam

glued to cardboard remains of a notepad.

Using acrylic craft paint I experimented with layers of stamping


on thin gauzy muslin.

Letting that dry overnight I water-thinned Setacolor transparent paint in two colors of green and washed across the fabric.

Dropping clear water and adding wrinkles to allow some variation in the color as it dries.


Leftover paint, what to do?

Crayon rubbings of the stamp on paper, indented paper


color washes.


Things are drying!!
