Creating a Garbage Stamp: Something from Nothing

Подробнее о видео

In real time this whole stamp carving process -- drawing the design, carving the design, test printing, cleaning up the design, and then printing an overall pattern -- took me about 15 minutes. I've shortened it to a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants one minute video. I call these stamps made from leftover "garbage" rubber: "garbage stamps." But, I think you'll agree that they're lovely despite the name!

Supplies:
I'm using Speedy Carve () and Speedball Carving Tools (). The pens are Sakura Microperm () and Sakura Permapaque (). My ink is Ranger Archival (). You can buy my book on stamp carving. It's called Carve Stamp Play ().

Stamp carving is a fun and easy hobby that is very portable. Every December I lead a daily stamp carving challenge called #CarveDecember. It's lots of fun and everyone is welcome to join in!
