printed fabric

I played around a little with one of my hand carved stampsI really like creating a repeating pattern with it


and then I thought it would look great on fabricI used some flour sack towels I had picked up a few months agothey're big - and the loose weave soaks up the paint readilyI used an unevenly mixed orange and yellow combo of acrylic paintwithout mixing the two colors perfectly, I got a nice variation of color


then was the question, "what to make with it?"
