carving

I have been bitten by the stamp carving bug... I haven't carved a stamp since I think high school, but I did still have my tools. And while mistakenly browsing the isles of a local crafts store recently, I found some carving blocks. I think I can safely blame Elin for this. She's been carving a stamp a day this year and they all look so great I just had to try it myself. So here's my first stamp, I am sure everyone is surprised to see some doodly looking curves here... I tried it on some fabric that I had painted earlier and a dryer sheet. I actually really like the look of the stamp itself with all the carving lines, kinda cool...

It is cool. I like the stamp itself too. I also like the fabric a lot. Are you using standard acrylic on your fabric or a brand of fabric paint? Thanks for the post.
