Carved Stamp


i have been carving stamps here and there
hoping to use them on fabric, as well as occasionally in my art


do you have any suggestions for printing with stamps on fabric?
the best ink or paint?
how to make it permanent?

  1. That's a lovely stamp! Sorry I can't give you suggestions. Would the colorants used to paint silk work, maybe?

  3. You can us norrmal acrylic paints mixed with a fabric painting medium. I use Golden medium GAC-900. After drying you can heat set the paint this makes it permanent and you can launder your fabrics. I hope this helps Tammie. ManonX

  6. Tammie, your stamp is delightful. You managed to put a lot of details on it!

    What tools did you use? I have some carving tools and some pink erasers to carve into just sitting and waiting in my art supplies. I best get carving so I can get as good as you!

    Sorry I have no experience on printing on fabric.

    I really like the freshness of your piece. The girl's expression and whimsical hair spirals, and the colours remind me of spring! Well done!

  7. Such a wonderful bird-stamp! It'll be useable in so many ways. I have painted fabrics with normal acrylic paints, and then ironed it for a really long time. Then in the washingmachine and it all stayed on. But as Manon says: you can also mix your paint with textile medium.

  8. Oh, oh, oh, how I LoVe that stamp!

    As for working on fabric, I could repeat what others have already said, but I do know there's some products out there that my fabric friends love. I believe more that a couple have recommended the Jacquard brand to me.

  11. Very cool! I love your bird stamp. I bought a book a few weeks ago called "making an impression" by Geninne about carving stamps. I want to try it!

  13. Loved the sketch and the stamp too, so pretty!

    I made a totebag years ago in a cream-colored burlap and stamped flowers along one edge, using a potato 'stamp' and ink. Can't remember the kind of ink/dye it was but it turned out great. I hope I can find that tote somewhere in our stuff (most of it is still in storage at this point, a long way away) ;<(

    Happy Weekend Tammie!

  15. Ha Tammie, dit is weer een mooi kunststukje. Een leuk idee met de stempels ik zelf heb daar nog nooit mee gewerkt.
    Fijn dat je afbeeldingen weer terug hebt.
    Ik wens een fijne week.
    Liefs een groetje Christiene.

    Tammie Ha, this is another beautiful piece of art. A great idea with the stamps I've never worked with it there yourself.

  17. You could try indelible ink, or a thinned down fabric paint. I LOVE this stamp.
