Stuff testing on a fabric bag

Just for testing and playing a little bit.

The cat pattern is not mine. I got some pictures files from a friend but she couldn't really say where she found them. Just something like... in the internet...? So I am sorry I can't tell where it is from :(

I like the pattern with the black fabric paint on it. Thinking about using it as a card or something...

Or to get this effect on the fabric, not on the pattern ^^

The question whether to mount the stamps (foamed rubber ones...) direct on wood or with a plastic foil in between got an answer: Direct. With the foil I lost the tiny claw tracks.. *sniff*

Stamps - mounted!

I got really great pieces of wood to mount my stamps made out of foamed rubber. The bigger ones got knobs to handle them while stamping! And all of them were sanded so smoothly that you could create a vacuum on a plain surface!

I tried several methods for mounting the stamps like to glue them directly on the wood or with some plastic foil in between. Just to try what would work better...

In one case I glued the stamp on the wrong side.. *sniff* Just realised it viewing the pictures. Tomorrow I will fix it but not tonight anymore... really to late. Again.

You see the rest of the blue colour I used for testing? Although I washed the stamp some paint remains. But doesn't seem to rub of if used with a differend colour (tested it with some leftovers of the foamed rubber)...

I marked the direction (oben = this side up / rechts = right / links = left / Breite = width).

There are a lot more of them!

I really love them!

Stamps, stamps and even more stamps...!

Okay, I have cut out some more stamps out of foamed rubber. This time a lot to create animal tracks... all of african creatures... but a lot of them would also be ok for dog, wolf or cat tracks.. :)

I glued them on polythene foil (maybe you can even read the names on it...) because I was a little bit worried about losing the small pieces.

They will be mounted on wooden blocks later...

...more...

I will use the remaining rubber stuff to print animal like pattern.. a little bit like leopard fur...

My first staming with the hyaena track. I really like the result. Just something so easy and fast... Just for crossing the prints over a t-shirt or skirt...

...skirt... definitly going on my to-do list ;)
