Several years ago, at a garage sale in my neighborhood, I was fortunate to be able to purchase four Bali design blocks from an interior designer who was moving. Here they are:

Aren’t they marvelous?? Today, I heated some blue foam blocks till they would accept the imprint and then I pressed the blocks down onto the blue foam. The result is two wonderful stamps.

Then, with regular, inexpensive acrylic paints, I stamped on two hand-dyed pieces of fabric. Clear stamp prints are less intriguing, artistically, than the echoed imprints as the paint diminishes on the stamp.

I have two more Bali design blocks to use to imprint this blue foam material. How grand is that??
