It started with this neck roll. I needed a cover for it but was to lazy to sew a properly one. So I´ve cut some linen fabric and wound it around the pillow 2 times. At the ends I´ve closed the roll with some trims from the stash. All in natural white, very clean and fresh looking.
Clear and fresh but maybe a bit boring to make more of it. Suddenly the wooden antic stamps I´ve once got from my aunt came in mind. I´ve taken them from the book shelve and added some red acrylic fabric paint.
On a spare piece of fabric I´ve tried it out...and it turned out quite ok. Not perfect. No. The paint is too thick and the print didn´t turn out so clean as I wanted it. But it is a start.
Later I´m going to fix the paint with ironing and am going to wash it to test out it´s durability. Together with some cute bands I´ve bought on ebay lately I see a lot of cute and interesting projects in the near future.
each roll has 3m "East of India" trim on it |
If someone has helpful tips for stamping and what paint or ink to use I´m glad to hear them :)
I wish you a all a wonderful, creative and inspiring day.
Those antique stamps are really interesting.
