Rubber Stamp

This was fun! Amy McDonald was talking about wanting to make rubber stamps with garden kneeling pads after she made an awesome stamp by pressing the face of a porcelain baby doll into a mold. So I had to try it. Love the effect. Each impression was made by heating the garden pad with an embossing tool You can't see the one on the left very well, because I didn't ink it up as I didn't heat the foam long enough to leave a good imprint. Right to left, foam heated for 35 seconds, 30 seconds, 25 seconds. They kind of look like some of the nuns I had in boarding school back in the 60s..
