Disclaimer: These stamps are a temporary joy. Once, you apply paint and print with them they will loose some of their texture with every print. They can be used for several prints and every print is going to be a bit different. Don't wash them with too much water! The pulp gets soaked and sticky.

You can really make the stamps how you feel like. In these two videos for example, I didn't cut the edges and put it on a bigger piece of wood than the pineapple slice, like this the shape will also show on your print.

Do you want them to last forever? Make a mould out of them! Once you pour rubber in the mould you can make a long lasting stamp with the same texture.

These stamps can be used like a normal stamp (apply weight on top by pressing with hand or stepping on it) or they can be used with a press (not recommended for the pulp stamps because the more weight you apply, the faster the texture will fade.

HOW TO USE

Use this for your paintings with either acrylic or oil paint. After using it for a while it can break because it gets soaked and unstable. Try to make something out of it before that happens :)
