I buy all of my textile stamps at a bead store in Indianapolis. =
Sometimes little eclectic shops such as this will carry textile stamps. =
Mine are not Indian but 16th century Afghani. The bead store owner has =
a big trunk full of all sizes and patterns. They are covered with ink, =
dirt and stuff. I get really dirty sorting through them but what =
wonderful clay stamps they make!!!!

Well gang -

I am here in Indy, and if Allyson will be so kind as to share the name of the establishment, I could go there for you all and get you something per your order.

Hey Gail,
The name of the store is Boca Loca Beads and it is in the 800 block of =
Massachusetts Ave. They used to have two large trunks full but when I =
was in there last week they were down to only one trunk. Two guys came =
into the store and bought a large amount of the stamps to use at the =
Indianapolis Home Show. It appears that not only are they good for clay =
but faux painters and interior design people love them for texturing =
painted surfaces! The stamps are just a few cents under $20.00 each no =
matter what their size.
