I just finished carving a new pug stamp inspired by my new pug painting, A67.
I love carving stamps. I have documented my process and materials for you see how I create them.
Here is the stamp, my carving tool and four prints drying.
Close up of the stamp.
What a great job that you did on that stamp! I am very impressed. I haven't attempted to do anything like this since college when we did linoleum cuts. Really nice composition on these, they look so adorable all snuggled up together.
ReplyDeleteOh these are wonderful Melissa - I am so impressed with how you made these. I will tell all my scrapbooking buddies to take a woof at your wonderful stamps...

ReplyDeleteI love your stamps, Melissa. All of them! So expressive and so puggish. I'll go check out your process now and see what I can learn from you. Kinsey says she wants her very own stamp, too. I'll have to get to work.
