African wooden stamps

The wooden stamps of The Gambia are not nearly as intricate as the copper ones of Indonesia but they have a unique beauty of their own and I love their natural look.
The fabric is placed over an old rice sack for padding instead of the damp plastic covered sponge used in Indonesia. The result is rough and messy, but suits the style of these African designs.
