Stamping with Style: Sensational Ways to Decorate Paper, Fabric, Polymer Clay & More

By Katherine Duncan Aimone

Book Overview

Carve or convert everyday objects into stamps, use natural materials such as leaves to produce sophisticated designs, or try ready-made stamps. Transferring ink to a surface is a hot technique, but you'll also achieve great effects by stamping fabric with bleach, heat-stamping velvet, or imprinting polymer clay. These 40 elegant projects are a superb introduction. "Colorful, imaginative."- Library Journal.

More for the Artsy Stamper...

This is a wonderful resource, but frankly, for the more "artsy" stamper. I love the projects, techniques, and looks shown here, but if you're looking for clean and simple, this is not it. Not that the techniques are difficult -- they aren't -- it's just that the looks are very elegant. The book shows stamping on everything -- clothes, paper, clay, umbrellas, and more. You can transfer the techniques from these to other media if you know what you are doing and aren't afraid to try something new. Everything from funky to renaissance...Nice stuff, I like it, maybe you will, too.
