I picked up an old stamp pad for 50 cents at a yard sale. It's black and grey and says on the front, "Favorite Self Inking Stamp Pad".
I don't have a good camera, but here are some photos to get a rough idea of it;

One is just a penciled work, the other is given more detail with ink. Forgive the lack of facial expressions... As you can see, the first one, the eyes are hidden out. And in the second one I drew the eyes, they looked weird, so I covered em up. I really need a LOT of practice with the damn eyes.Penciled:and now, the inked one:Look at it... the inked one looks like a printout! So damn cool.I also noticed quite a lot of smudges in the inked picture... have to remember to keep some cloth near me next time to frequently wash m

Despite the catch, this is a great way to ink on a large surface.~balls or pieces of cotton wools: This is
This is a technique which I've used in my latest layout titled "Determination" in my family gallery. The title of the layout actually gave me the inspirations to use this technique on the layout. You need a lot of patience and determination in this technique. To create a background using this "inking in layers with masks" technique, simply follow the steps below:1. Placed your masks in any design you want on a cardstock. Stick it down using some temporary adhesives or just use a normal sticky tape and fold it in a circle. 2. Using triangle shaped cosmetic sponge, inked on all the edges of the masks. You can use whatever colours you wish.3. Remove the masks and you will have your first layer. Don't worry about its' first look as it will gets better as you add more layers to it.4. Place the masks for your second layer and inked on it again. (repeat step 2)5. Remove the masks and you will have your second layer. The different tones and shades of areas are beginning to form. The places
I have been thinking about tattoos again recently, and I came across this tattoo that I love.

I wish I had the guts to do it. . . . .
