Have you ever tried potato printing?! The potato is a major part of Irish history and is still a popular Irish food. It also makes a nice bulky stamping grip, easier for some to handle than something dainty. Here's what you do.
Supplies needed: potato, paint, sharp knife, pen or pencil, saucer, paper or other material to stamp on
Directions: Slice the potato in half. On the exposed side of the potato draw a shape you would like to stamp. (I attempted a shamrock) Use the knife to cut out around the shape, making the shape raised. Put some paint in a saucer or paper plate. Dip your potato stamp in the paint and blot the excess on some throwaway paper, otherwise it will be slippery, and then stamp away. Have fun!
