:my creative space:

Around blog land I have seen several people carving stamps and thought that I would give it a go..


Xmas is approaching quickly so a project involving a reindeer was the way to go.


I then printed the reindeer onto some fabric
(any advice re fabric paint, whats a good one, welcome!)


I found that the paint didn't take too well to the fabric.  It was very patchy in parts.  I just used a paint brush to try and fix this problem. It may have been because I was using a sponge roller to apply paint to stamp.


Then I  made some xmas coasters..

  5. Fabbo-these reindeers look great! When I was doing a printing project we used large sheets of cardboard to stetch and pin out the fabric so it was very flat and tight, this was for knit t-shirts but still might help?
