One of the suggestions Claire Benn gave us in May was to push the limits of one single tool...just commit to using one mark making tool everyday for a week in your studio. A couple of weeks ago I did just this using a plastic card and did these...
But my new awesome favorite tool is this!
The insert from toilet paper is a fantastic stamping tool. I shape it into a pod, square, rectangle or odd shape and just stamp with my medium of choice. I must give a shout out to the fabulous Joanne Weis (toward the bottom on the post) for suggesting this in a LAFTA workshop she gave last year.
I'm ready to cut those first two fabrics and make something. What paint or dye medium did you use. Explain.

on the top, i used procion mx dye thickened with print paste, on the second one, i used jaquard discharge paste, and on the last one i used golden fluid acrylic paint mixed with golden 900 which makes it equivalent to fabric paint. i mix it at 1:3 ratio instead of the 1:1 ratio and it still leaves the fabric a little stiff but that doesn't bother me.
