Stamping with Pine Needles

For anyone who likes to stamp found objects onto fabric I suggest pine needles. They typically hold up well and for me at least they are easy to come by.

Speedball is my favorite printing ink because it's thin enough to leave the fabric soft after stamping. I used two shades of green and some brown applied by sponge brushes. Once the ink dried I painted a wash of color using diluted Pueblo Setacolor paints with some salt tossed on to help the paints wander.

 

I typically purchase my supplies from Dharma Trading Company - they're the best!
