Children's Art: Print Workshop Day 7

This was the last day of our printing workshop...

This day's technique was embossing to make stamps out of styrofoam blocks.

I heated styrofoam blocks with a hot air gun (which we normally need to work on Madita during winters, but there are special embossing air gun available...).
After 30 seconds something we pressed the blocks face down on different materials we laid out flat on a heat resistent surface.
after 20 seconds we had wonderful stamps. So far we did only a few prints with them, after coloring the blocks with ink pads, but I am pretty sure, that this technique will be great to create our own gift wraps.
