HAND CARVED STAMPS

After a very left brained morning in a QuickBooks seminar with my husband at the Perimeter Apple Store, I had to come home and get creative. I've wanted to try carving my own stamps after being inspired by GENINNE and her beautiful hand carved stamps. I used a Staedtler Carving Block and a Speedball carver. I drew a pattern on a piece of paper, flipped it onto the carving block and burnished it. I started carving trying to stay on the lines. It was really a lot easier than I thought it would be. I can't wait to try some more tomorrow.
