I decided to have another go working on some stamps.

I did three different ones, these were basically to test a theory.

The big tiles were pretty naff to be honest, the joints were too large. I was happy with the crazy paving and the cobblestones, which to be honest, I didn’t think would work.

I made a 9×9 tile with just cobblestones – giving myself a bit of a blister in the process!

I was quite happy with the results. There were some errors, but not bad for a first attempt.

Some of the indentations need deepening as can be seen by the joined up stones in the bottom left above. There were some worse bits but I painted in the cracks as well as added some cobblestones where the gaps were too large.

I might have a bash with the house paint and see how that works. It works out a whole lot cheaper than the Pebeo acrylics. These run at around £4.00 per 100ml tube. The house paint is a bit over £3.00 per 250ml. So a definite saving there. I probably drive them mad in the paint shop with my individual tester pots, on the up side, they have loads of colours to choose from.

The original idea came from DM Scotty
