I'm staying the night in Racine, and in my rush to pack this morning, I forgot to throw some knitting into my suitcase. In the middle of the day, I realized I had nothing to make. After work, I went and wandered around Hobby Lobby for about an hour, trying to find some inspiration for today's post. I finally settled on making refrigerator magnets with canvas and stamps.
Overall, I'm happy with the technique, I'll definitely do it again, but with different execution. This particular canvas was set on a wooden frame, leaving a "hole" in the middle across the stretched canvas. The implication was that the stamp did not apply evenly across this "hole". Therefore, I think I generally pressed the stamp in too hard, overcompensating for this issue, thereby loosing the nuances within the stamp itself. Next time, I will try a flat canvas (the kind with turned edges) and I think I'll get better results. Still, this was a fun, impromptu project! :)
