Natural Tag Collection

I don't use rubber stamps much and prefer just to play on my own with paint. I did make some stamps myself, a leaf from lino, and a flower from foam. I stamped them over each other a lot though on some of the tags, and instead of having a clear image got some interesting patterns. The papers are just collected over time, some are brown paper bags, handmade paper and I think some came wrapped round some boots I bought, stuffed in the toes etc. Yes I keep everything, and am dreading the day I move out of home!!!
