CREATIVE TOOLS FOR PRINTING FABRICS

         Quite a while ago I had a fun experience visiting for the first time a shop on main St. called Urban Source. It is a place that attracts art teachers, artists, designers, students, and families, and it is definetely worth a visit. They offer a variety of alternative materials from local industries, diverting safe, usable off-cuts, discards, misprints and over stock from the land fill.
           In my visit there I found some small foam cylinders being sold by bulk. I immediately visualized them being used to stamp on fabric, foreseeing some beautiful printing outcomes. It took me a long time to create and construct the actual tool, but it is finally ready and approved after having done the first tests! I have to  thank my husband for doing his part on it since he has kindly assembled the door handles for me. Aren't they perfect as stamp handles as well? Check it out!
