One of the many, many problems I can think of is that you'd have to keep replenishing the ink pads after every use, meaning a supply of all the paint colours as well as brushes to apply the colours to the pads... Might as well paint normally!<br /><br />So it's not a piece of art that makes art. But it's interesting art!Relgapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-52750464558852178702012-01-21T14:41:40.427-05:002012-01-21T14:41:40.427-05:00Thank you so much for linking to DSC... seriously,...Thank you so much for linking to DSC... seriously, a lifelong dream has been realized. :) xoxoxo<br /><br />HeatherHeather - Dollarstorecrafts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961561421180532049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-50540790573916010742012-01-20T22:44:43.503-05:002012-01-20T22:44:43.503-05:00dang it! husband signed in, not me....dang it! husband signed in, not me....Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441957385786745453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-68887002825389601102012-01-20T22:43:51.316-05:002012-01-20T22:43:51.316-05:00Purses made from license plates!
