Stamping!!!

Before I get started, hop over to Whitney's site for her Christmas Giveaway!

Now, my new obsession. The kids are doing a printmaking project at school. I had only done screen printing and Intaglio in college, but never just the printing block with the gouges. Well, I did a few demonstrations, and the kids were really getting into it, and one day I had an epiphany! I was on my way to do a class coverage, when remembered a picture of Bob Ross that i had! And that's where the obsession began! Once I had carved my little 1 inch x 1.5 inch block, and saw his magnificant print, that was all I wanted to do!!! So, I shared my idea with the other art teachers, and we decided to make tshirts! That's what the big blocks are for!

I apologize for my blurry pictures, and I'm not sure what's up with that, but here is Bob, and his stamp on a post it note :)

This is how the 2 bigger stamps worked. I wanted to create the positive/negative space stamps for an Andy Warhol effect. I'd say it worked :)

Here is the start of my Tshrit! First I splatter painted, then I stamped little Bob. I ran out of time to do the 4 bigger prints on the back.
