Nail Buffer Stamp and Collages


Have you ever used nail buffers like the one above with the red background - don't throw them away when they are worn out - they can be used for mark making stamps. And four usable sides means four different patterns.  I used a 'dead' pen to score a pattern with, a craft knife to cut a pattern and make lines, and an awl for the dotty one.
More pages from sketchbook 12 - watercolour and wax backgrounds, found images

Mark Makers

Ideas for mark makers. I used interesting paper/card packaging for the top two.

And the ones below are the plasticky foam protection pads [I don't know the correct name has I don't have the packing they came in] which I bought from the £ shop and come in squares and circles.
