Our latest rubber stamp design resembles handwriting in a foreign language, but is a made-up alphabet with no meaning. Hence, the name "Gobbledegook." The large 5.5" x 8.5" size makes for speedy rubbings and is especially useful for creating yardage.

Gelli Printing Plates

Gelli plates look (and feel) like a slab of 8”x10” gelatin. They have a very sensitive surface which will imprint any texture. This surface makes a better impression than plexiglass or other hard surfaces. Click here to discover how easy it is to make one-of-a-kind prints using the plates, along with textile paints and objects such as stamps, stencils, rubbing plates, etc.

Basket Bag by Linda Lindsey

Here's a new bag from Square Rose Designs, designed by Linda Lindsay. The Basket Bag facilitates your creative journey into fabric weaving, as shown by my sample in lime green and red. I used gold and leaf green iridescent paintstiks, and the new Doodles rubbing plates on the red fabric to provide additional color and texture. Linda’s pattern offers options for weaving random straight or curved strips, or finished edges. The finished bag has a height of 11" and a base that measures 9" x 14".
