my creative space: potato and bubble wrap

I was lucky enough had a few hours to myself on Tuesday morning, my little man and his daddy went for a trip to grandma's house and had a great time! It was so nice just to have some uninterrupted time to do whatever I wanted... bliss!

I have been itching to do some printing on M's plain tops and so I thought a nice quick way would be to do some potato stamps! Triangles are really easy to cut out and I also cut some lines into them to add a bit more texture. I applied fabric paint with a sponge roller and started stamping! I really love how his little top turned out :)

It's hard to get a photo of my busy little man sometimes!
Then I went a bit crazy and decided to make a bit of a mess using some bubble wrap as a stamp! I'm not sure if I like the result but I love the colours and it was a lot of fun experimenting.

He looks like a little raver - dancing in the lounge room!

    The potato stamping looks like fun and a cute result. I can see potential in the bubblewrap as an interesting overall pattern, big piece of wrap = big area of pattern - could make interesting carry bags or similar. Keep on thinking outside the square :)

    That potato stamping looks so fun!

    And you're very creative to have come up with the idea of using bubble wrap - I would never have though of that!

    (Uninterrupted time like that to indulge one's creativity is so precious...)

    I really like the bubblewrap print - demented beehive theme!

    All you need for your wee man is to print some furry phat pants.

    Cheers,

    That is so cool! What a fantastic way to change up his shirts, or cover a stain to make them last longer. I love the bubble wrap! Brilliant!
