Can anyone give me any paint tips for block printing on fabric?
I plan on hand stamping fabric materials (tea towels, canvas tote bags) with fabric paint using my own hand carved stamps. I have never done this before and need some tips please!
I want to use the best paint for this type of project. I have heard some mention of jacquard and stazon brand paints being pretty good. Any personal opinions on these brands are welcome, or if there a superior brand i am unaware of please let me know. also any opinion on paint extenders not sure what they do, do they thin the paint out for easy application??
Also, some of the stamps are small, but some are quite large (11x11). What is the best method of applying paint to the stamps? should i use a paint roller or a brush? or are there giant inker pads i can buy to pour the fabric paint into?
Many thanks to anyone who has experience with this and is willing to share......

I like Jacquard Neopaque and Lumiere. You can simply brush the paint out on a styrofoam meat/vegetable tray or a piece of glass, ink your stamp on the tray/glass, and stamp with it.
