Messy Painted Canvas...



The RAIN stopped production in the

hay fields today so...

I slung paint around with the

Harlan Valley Quilters!



Messy Painted Canvas




Here are a few images I captured

in the hay field:


Gate into the hay field...





Fence along the hay field...






Foxgloves grow wild along the

edges of the hay fields...






Daisies growing along the fence line...

From the seat of the Tractor...



Summer arrived early here in

Western Oregon...


We are making hay.....already!





I don't hear the hum of my sewing machine...

I hear the ROAR of the tractor!






It is very breezy today...

the grass is blowing around

and reminds me of the ocean waves.





I captured a video of the ocean

here in the middle of the hay field....enjoy!





The hay field is surrounded by foxgloves...






California Poppies fill our back yard.


Enjoy the hay field video:

Magic Moldable Foam Stamps...


Magic Moldable Foam Stamps



They look like a blue sponge, but they're not!





They can take on most any shape...





Prints on Paper...





The Art Sisters are here!

We have lots of different objects 

to try out today...



The moldable foam stamps are heated up

with a heat tool...


Then the warm stamp is pressed onto buttons...





Print on Paper





Plastic doily pressed into a foam stamp

and stamped on fabric.

This works just as well with a cloth doily.





Impression of an old key























Yes, botanicals make great foam stamps!
































I chose to try out different textures

and print them on fabric:








The cow head is from a hamburger press











Look around your house,

you will be amazed at how many found items

make great moldable foam stamps!

It is like a treasure hunt.
