I hand carved some "travel" stamps today to use at our library's adult summer reading program titled NOVEL DESTINATIONS. As each patron reads a book, we stamp their passport. I thought it would be fun to have some interesting travel stamps. I sketch out my drawing on grid paper, cut it out and press onto the carving block. I burnish with a bone folder which makes an exact copy of my drawing onto the carving block. I then carve with my speedball carving tool and print. I like to use permanent ink like StazOn.
