Hilary Florence Quilting Workshop: hand-made stamps

Messing about

My gold squares are coming on, but I thought I would have an injection of colour this week.

I have been messing about with paper, acrylic, home-made funky foam stamps and dyes.
No plan, no rules, no objective, no purpose, no thinking, no need for good results.

We had a day of blue sky and warm sunshine - in December!!! I couldn't resist the temptation to get back to working in the garden.

In no particular order, with no rhyme or reason, the results:

Thanks for visiting...

Notan leaves and more Procion Paper Play

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Notan Leaf 1 - printed on paper with thickened procion dyes

I thought it would be great to start the year I hope to go on - namely with some creative fun.
I have played around a little with Notan - that is motives and patterns that balance negative and positive space. I made a few leaf stamps with funky foam, thickened some dye and off I went.

Grid stamped Notan Leaf 1

I've overlapped the stamp here to make a loose grid. The background overlaps but not the leaf itself. Extra texture is added with another stamp, made from rubber bands stretched across a base.
