Fabric Paint Stamp Pad Tutorial

fabricstamppad.jpg Jezze shows you how to make a fabric paint stamp pad in her tutorial.

She writes:

Sometimes when you're printing tiny blocks (to make buttons, for instance) it's quicker to ink the blocks with a stamp pad rather than a foam brush or roller. I haven't been able to find any instructions for a home-made stamp pad to use with fabric paint, only commercial ones.

Thanks Shannon!

Geek Crafts points us towards Flickr user Ashe-Villian's clever hand-carved rubber stamp made in the shape of the ebola virus. I love their idea of making get-well cards with it. Who knew ebola could be so modern-looking and pretty?

HOW TO - Penrose Stamps



Bold Lentil makes stamp art from Roger Penrose's mathematical figures, and shows you how:
The result is, I think, a nice irregular geometry that is visually distinct and eye catching. You can scan the Penrose stamped patterns and then have even more fun digitally editing the patterns into additional patterns and shapes. The challenge of a sudoku and the simplicity of stamping. Funky geometric forms liberated from dry mathematical journals and spray painted on the side of my bright red toolbox. If you've had more fun with a stamp pad and an eraser, it probably wasn't legal, or least the mathematicians weren't interested.
