Today’s piece should be filed under Awesomosity!
Earlier today I saw this image in my flickr favorites and I instantly wanted to carve a stamp I could use repeatedly in one piece. I also had a lunch date with printer extraordinaire, pejnolan, so printing was a necessity.
I spied my ecosphere and got the idea to do a piece based on that.
Above you can see the progression of the stamp, from the blank block, to the original sketch, line drawing on the block and then the actual cut out stamp.
I love, love, love this piece and am so inspired to do more using handcarved stamps.
Wait a minute! I did not know you could make stamps! I love this one! What kind of ink can you use with a stamp like this?
I love it! Is the stamp wood or some other material?
this came out grand! ive been trying my hand at stamps again recently too.. after a much too long rest. your snail is so cute!
sweet!
you will never go back to buying those horrible store made stamps, you are now FREE! this is an awesome piece too!
I love this. I must make stamps now. I must. I am compelled.
And great piece.
