I tried something new today.  I had seen people use their Rubber Stamp Tapestry peg stamps on ceramic and thought, what the heck, I should give this a try.  I wasn’t sure exactly how to proceed so used makeup sponges and put acrylic (the kind you bake) paint on the sponge and stamped onto it.  It didn’t really work that well, so I used a paint brush and painted the stamps instead.  It had better results, but I liked the second image over the first, so proceeded onward.  I really had fun with this technique because as soon as I stamped a mess, I wiped it right back off.  Wouldn’t it be great if it worked the same way with paper?  .

I stamped on a soup bowl that had a handle and lid.  It made for the perfect stamping situation because I had a lot of space to stamp and could make a pattern that wouldn’t be near the surface that you would eat from.  I haven’t baked it yet, that will be tomorrow’s project and then I’ll be able to do the video on the second bowl.  I like using my stamps for something different and this technique is fun and a little challenging.  I’m crossing my fingers that it bakes well and looks like something I won’t want to discard once baked.  Wish me luck!
