  Bali design blocks become stamps

Several years ago, at a garage sale in my neighborhood, I was fortunate to be able to purchase four Bali design blocks from an interior designer who was moving. Here they are:

Aren’t they marvelous?? Today, I heated some blue foam blocks till they would accept the imprint and then I pressed the blocks down onto the blue foam. The result is two wonderful stamps.

Then, with regular, inexpensive acrylic paints, I stamped on two hand-dyed pieces of fabric. Clear stamp prints are less intriguing, artistically, than the echoed imprints as the paint diminishes on the stamp.

I have two more Bali design blocks to use to imprint this blue foam material. How grand is that??

 
This blog will host my musings and ponderings on books, films, American culture, feminism, art, and music. As I prepare for academic seminars on learning objects, I will test drive some ideas here as well.
