My Life Adventure

April 23, 2008

Both DyeHards and DyeHard Surfacing had stamping swaps this month so I did a lot of stamping.

DyeHard had a stamping swap so I used thickened dyes for that one.  I thickened the dye with sodium alginate and also added soda ash and then dye powder.  I had some chunky stamps I really like for things like this.  Here are the results.

Then DyeHard Surfacing we could use paints or whatever for the medium but we had to use styrofoam in some form for the stamps.  I had collected bits and pieces of styrofoam from take-out cartons, shipping packaging, etc.  I used mostly Jacquard Lumiere paints for this one.  I think only one color (brown) was a Jacquard Textile paint.  And the results???  Here they are.
