I've been playing around with stamping on clothing, and today's project photo is the pant leg of a pair of jeans. I'm using Ranger's Archival Ink in Jet Black.
I have since washed these jeans about three times - the ink fades slightly with the first wash then remains consistent. I'm extremely pleased with the Ranger Archival coverage for fabric - specifically denim.
I stamped/wheeled the images once only. I know with other inks one must repeatedly stamp the image(s) with multiple layers of ink, but I did not find this necessary with the Archival Inks.
This layered text/flourish idea is from a shirt that Tim wore while at Ranger U last April.
I'll readily admit, stamping on clothing initially brought back a particular feeling - a naughty feeling - it was similar to the feeling of writing in a school textbook back in junior high school!
After stamping several pairs of jeans this feeling evaporated. I guess I'll have to find other deviant stamping activities to feel naughty about. hee...
