I did 2 pieces; one I painted blotchy orange and then stamped over in red/orange paint:
The other i stamped also but wasn't as happy with the overall spacing so i restamped over it with a blue checkerboard. This piece will be worked on further; I'm thinking of dyeing it a medium blue to integrate the checkerboard into the background and make the red stamps stick out more.
For now, it felt good and I'm pleased with the start I made.
