Well, what else would I be doing with deadlines looming than having a play? ;o) At least they were related to the deadlines…
Firstly I’ve been playing with these:
Over the last week I’ve been drawing out and then carving designs for stamps for the hand printed fabric swap (and carving my fingers too if you recall ;o) ) I still have one more to draw and carve, and then I’m ready to go, but I thought I ought to test the ones I had done out to see if I needed to do any trimming of the background:
As it turned out there were a few things I needed to look at, so it was a worthwhile exercise. Hopefully I’ll be good to go on the full sized pieces tomorrow.
While that was drying, I’ve been working on my upcoming pattern submission. This is as detailed as you’re going to see before I send it off, sorry!
Hope you’ve all been having a fun Saturday too, and if you’re in the UK, you’ve managed to stay in away from the nasty weather!
I am looking forward to seeing them finished….
Love the beach thing going on with the stamps. Is the red ink deliberate due to the finger gouging?
Hey…your playing looks like great fun!
The stamps look very interesting! You think of making and selling your own fabric pieces? =D
Love the beach hut stamps!
All that creativity, fabric, patterns – what next? I hope you keep having fun.
It looks like fun, I love the bathing box stamp.
I bought some stamp carving supplies let year, they are still sitting in a cupboard somewhere!
The stamping looks wonderful, and the mystery pattern looks right regal xxx
I like your playing. It looks like sun, sand and surf.
Hugs
Looks like fun!!
This looks like a lot of fun…too much fun! ["no more new hobbies, no more new hobbies…!"] I've spent my day gardening and canning. And our "ugly" weather here is 98 degrees (F)–just like a windy oven out there. Yuck!
Oh very cool stamps! My sister has just started printing fabric and she's loving it too. Your pattern submission looks fab :o)
Love the stamps! Especially the bucket and spade! Secret project looks very interesting in a tight royal way 🙂
Oh come on! Not even a sneaky reveal for your bloggy buddies? We're hoping to see!
Neat stamps, I like the "itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini", definitely not the weather for them in NE England this weekend!
The stamps turned out great! I love the beach theme. There have been times when I've thought of making stamps but after seeing what can happen to one's fingers I'm a bit afraid. I faint at the sight of blood. Enjoy your weekend.
