No. 98 - Try Stamp Carving

Stamp Carving

Another item has been crossed off the 101 in 1001 list. This time I had a go at stamp carving! I have been wanting to do this for a while and eventually got around to buying the materials about 2 months ago. Then finally the other night I decided to give it a go.

Stamp Carving

I started out strong with some simple designs and then I got a little cocky and decided to try something a bit fancier. Silly me forgot that if I wanted a word to stamp out correctly I would have to carve it so the word was backwards. Woops! Oh well, we live and we learn. These were fun to make but I am wanting to try and find some bigger lots of carving blocks. Using erasers limits the size of your stamp and I actually thing a bigger stamp might be easier to make. If anyone knows where I can get some big blocks of stamp to carve let me know!
