Now for some details.
The joy of my life the past two years has been living close to my DD. The little princess has truly become the Queen of my heart!.
DD plays in clay at the Squeaky Wheel Potters Studio, a ceramic cooperative in the Rive Arts District of Asheville , NC.
I wanted to show you the versatility of our deeply etched rubber stamps, so I gave DD the naked rubber{Calligraphic Love Bits }, we collab-ed on size and shape, and she created this earring and neckpiece collection from porcelain clay, bisque and unglazed, fired to cone 6.
You can use your stamps with any clay medium:
air dry,paper clay, polymer clay, even salt dough!
Protect your stamp with VersaMark before you roll or push it into the clay, and wash it well immediately after use.
While I was waiting for the firing, I created a jewelry roll to hold the set.
Prepare your fabric by washing in the hottest water and strongest detergent your fabric can tolerate to remove all dirt and oils.
Hard press with the hottest temp the fabric can stand and pin the fabric to a padded surface,like and ironing board, or towels on a table or floor.
Arrange the stamps{Flourished Heart,Calligraphic Love Bits} on a stamp press, or large block and make some samples till you find the pattern you like.
I experimented with lots of different ink, and used VersaFine Crimson for the final fabric. I heat set the ink by ironing on the back side of the fabric, and ran it through 3 hot wash cycles as a test.
This is a vintage linen from my stash, and the ribbon is May Arts, with the hearts colored in with inks and a fine brush.
I found these quilted hearts on the 'free' table at a Fiber Arts Alliance meeting!
This set will make a wonderful gift for any occasion . I have a birthday coming up in mind! Watch your mailbox!

I love this jewelry set! Hearts are my favorite shape, I would be over joyed to receive this from someone. Thanks for showing us that our stamps do not always have to be used that way. I love it when someone shows me how to do something out of the box, because I do not always think that way.
very pretty. Well done. Have a great day
They look good in the photos! And the jewelery roll was a good way to display them of course.
What a great project, thanks for all the details too :)
What great projects and how lucky you are to craft with your daughter!
Oh My Word! AMAZING projects!
Very nice jewellery set Robyn. Way to collab!
Beautiful work. Great project. Judy

Wonderful and creative ideas! Beautifully done! Thanks for the details!
Just beautiful! I love the earrings and necklace. So many things or holidays you could do this with. A lovely idea to make a bag for your beautiful gifts. I am interested in clay and fabric so was especially fond of your project.
Very pretty necklace and earrings. I never realized you could do this with rubber stamps, thanks for a great new idea
to play with.

Great project and especially incorporating the clay pieces into the design.

Fabulous project. Love the fabric and ribbon. Christine
Terrific project!! So pretty!
thanks for sharing these are very nice projects
Thank you for the reminder that we can use our stamps on mediums other than paper. I can imagine wonderful pins and necklaces done this way. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great innovative way to use your stamps. Combination of crafting skills is terrific.
What a unique project. The jewelry roll is great. I love the way you used the charms.
Wow, what a neat thing to share with your DD - no wonder she is a princess, you treat her as such! Just as it should be. The jewelry is great! Thanks, Robyn.
Talk about thinking out side the box, this project is great you have really showcased your talents in a unique way.
Warm hugs Carole
What a clever idea! Thanks for sharing!
What beautiful jewellry to wear especially on Valentine's day. A nice collaberation with your daughter. How special. Carmen G.
LOVE the jewelry and the bag Robyn. I certainly need to be playing with the clay I have. It's air dry, but I want to colour it,so I am thinking I need gloves to protect my hands while incorporating the colour. The red on the Bisque is STUNNING!
I have never tried stamping on anything other than paper! You have opened up a new world for me to try out :)
What a great idea!! You are so talented :)
Thanks for the fun tutorial on stamping in clay and on that fabulous fabric.. Something new to try in the future. Wonderful work!
You are a talented artist! Thank you for sharing.
