"Rubber" Stamps

Today I spent most of the afternoon making feaux rubber stamps to use on fabric.
I used self adhesive craft foam sheets.  First I adhered two of them together, both sticky side down.  That way I would have a sticky side to stick the shape to Plexiglas or more foam.

My inspiration came from some printed mesh fabric I just received.




Just starting to cut them out

Here are copies of some of my inspiration fabric

All cut ready to stick on the plexiglas

all on the plexiglas
Some small pieces to use up
This is the inspiration for placement, when I started placing them the pieces kind of looked like faces.
These were the left over pieces, so I stuck them to more craft foam.

Now my next step is to print fabric with them.

  2. Bette, I wrote this once before, but clearly I am hopeless at setting these things up. I love the new stamps. Can't wait to see them on fabric. I did find the linoleum cutters here and finally found a couple of erasers. I am assuming the Brits don't make mistakes as hard as they were to find. At any rate, once again you've energized me into getting on with and hopefully starting my own blog. Let's see it's only been 2 years I've been talking about it. We'll see how long it finally takes. Congratulations and I'll be following each and every clever update.

  3. Bette,
    I love the t-shirt. And the fabric is terrific. See it and you soon.
