I had so much fun handcarving a new stamp today. I created it in the likeness of my latest panting pug painting design A68.I love carving stamps. I have documented my process and materials for you see how I create them.
It is a wonderful, fast and easy way to get my printmaking fix without carving into wood or lino which can be frustrating for me, and I do not need a press to run a print... just a stamp pad!
I use my stamps to embellish cards, journals, inspire fabric designs or embroidery doodles. I think this one will appear in one of my creations for doodle design class. :)
Tune in tomorrow to see new pictures and videos of Emmitt and Bogart together. He came for another visit last week and we all had so much fun!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Your stamps are great Melissa! Thanks for sharing the process with us!! : )

Thanks for the tutorial on how you do these cute stamps, Melissa! I'd love to try it sometime, so I've bookmarked that site. Do they also sell the pads at JoAnn's or Michaels?

ReplyDeletePop over I've left an award for you on my blog!
I love that expression, the panting pug. When Annie makes that face she's really saying "throw the ball! throw the ball!"
