I found this at an antique stall at Takapuna sunday market in NZ. I didn't realize how crazy I am about rubber stamps until now. Also, I've been looking for a more sustainable way to print my work as commercial printing uses way too much resources and not to mention the pigments are extremely toxic to our people and the environment.Now I can print to my heart's content except I must quickly experiment using natural plant colors like coffee, tumeric, wine etc...
This piece of fabric is from a very old bedsheet salvaged from my Godma's house that has already been re-purposed to an ironing sheet. It's my first time stamping ink on fabric...feels really good.

Really happy with the outcome, I didn't think the staple like fabric very much but it sure did like this one.
Wooden clips saved the day! I was struggling to keep the stack of paper in place while holding the fabric and carefully sliding it under the stapler making sure nothing slips out of position, it was almost impossible to keep them all together with my 10 fingers.
Covers waiting to be stuck/sewed on... haven't decided. Mom has an electronic sewing machine.. oh that reminds me! I need to work Ah Ma's antique sewing machine... yes yes I will do that tomorrow first thing. *Fingers crossed*
Lucky me, I found a cigar box that's of a perfect size for my babies.
