More Brilliance
Karen Lingel, Penguinist
been working well for me: stipple Brilliance for backgrounds. I've used
orange, gold, and white for a background for gold seashells. I've also
stippled gold to form the background for Japanese painting stamps.
And now a question: who makes a stamp that looks like the veining in
marble? Maybe even a cube stamp with 4 faces you can use with different
colors to simulate marble.

I was just at the Carson convention on Saturday, and one background you
might be interested in was from Toybox. It is the crackled effect seen
in old varnish on picture frames and paintings. Squarish shaped
crackles. Gorgeous. And I love the folks at Toybox--they are the best.
Their web site is www.toyboxart.com. They also have some wonderful new
images taken from Roman frescos and sculpture.

although I can't be sure that it was from that range.

different designs. If you have a Joann's near you, check there as I have seen
it there before.

sides. They also one that's supposed to mimic a hand-made paper
finish. I think Julie's right, that they're Stampendous. I have them
both, but haven't had a chance to try them out yet!

thought I would. They make great texture in shrink plastic, and clay,
stamp the marble one in bleach, then liquid cascade, and you get a great
marble look on glossy...well most of the time. You know how bleaching
is...some days great, some days not so great.

use it on? How does it look? Wow... sometimes I am in awe of how many
things around the house stamp artists have discovered. I am such a
non-domestic goddess that I don't even know what's under my sink!
Oh tell me tell me!

Ever try bleach stamping? Cascade has bleach in it, but it stays put on
the paper a little better. Bleachy substances produce interesting - and
unpredictable - effects on dark, matte cardstock. Kind of rreminds me of
batik.

bleach/cascade on ink? if you stippled a background on white stock, for
instance, then applied bleach?

chunky stamps! I made cool "bubble" curtains for my kids fishy bathroom by
using the rims different drinking glasses dunked in Soft Scrub on some blue
fabric!

I'm fairly new to stamping and have heard of shrink plastic but am unsure of
how you go about using a stamp to add texture to it. I wouldn't think that
you would have enough time to stamp once the plastic was hot and therefore
in the process of shrinking. After it is shrunk is it still possible to
stamp it?
Thanks in advance,
Cheryl

Here is a link for shrink plastic that will give you the basics. You
mentioned stamping on the hot plastic--you can do that too. I saw it in
a Judikins demo at Carson last November. You heat the plastic with your
heating tool instead of the in the oven, and when it gets to the curling
stage, encourage it to lump together. Stamp with a stamp that his been
inked with pigment ink. When the plastic piece has cooled enough so it
is safe to handle, go over it with a dab (on the fingertip) of krylon
pen to highlight the raised areas. The demonstrator was using black and
gold, but any contrasting pair would work. It made cool artifact like
chunks with partial images that would be great embellishments. Works
best with a deeply etched design.

You stamp BEFORE you shrink the plastic, then after you stamp you can
shrink the piece of shrink plastic by placing it in a oven or use a
heat gun (don't put it too close and be careful not to touch the
plastic or the nozzle of the heat gun it is hot (been there, done
that) You can use Radiant Pearls, Pearlex, makers etc. to colour in
your image after shrinking. If you want to make a pendant make a hole
in the top of the image befor baking a stick a wooden (not plastic)
bead in the hole to keep the hole from disappering before baking.

95% of the time.
Stamping for texture requires that you use a heat gun rather than your oven.
Once it has shrunk to its size, you keep heating it, until a wooden match
stick, or a chopstick or the like, makes a small indention.
You then stand up and put pressure on the stamp you are using to make your
texture.
The reason that you might want to stamp AFTER shrinking, is that you might
want to use a stamped image at full size rather than at a reduced size.
This past holiday season, I would estimate that 75% of my jewelry sales were
from items made with shrink.
I have used all brands and colors and coloring methods, so if there is
anything you'd like to know or have questions about, you can feel free to
email me personally.

Hi Karen- Judikins makes a marble background stamp and I believe a
cube stamp with faces. The cubes that I have are from a company called
Post Modern Design and they are wonderful! Everything they do is
Great! Hope this helps! stampaddict
