konnichi-nya: mohawkdandy: Bluh, the test of the spirograph stamp didn’t come out how I planned. The stamp itself turned out alright, but I did it with some leftover linoleum instead of stamping rubber, so I think it didn’t take the ink the right way? I’ll go buy some different ink tomorrow and try it again. Then I can get this MYSTERIOUS show on the road. The linoleum should work if instead of ink, you paint it with watercolors, let that dry,  and press it onto a soaked piece of paper Unfortunately I’m doing it on fabric instead of paper, or else I wouldn’t be having the problem in the first place (I have to use ink that can be set into the fabric and part of the problem is probably that this stuff isn’t actually supposed to be used for stamping……). I hadn’t heard of that technique though- That’s pretty neat! I effing love watercolor, so I might have to try that sometime.

    Aww, that’s too bad. If you use a brush with the ink, it might have the same effect. You just gotta force that ink onto...
