30 Days of Carving – day 11

I chose one of those erasers to use that has the angled ends. So before I could do anything, I had to cut them off. I could have left them, but it would have made it harder for carving & printing. I did bunches of little sketches, and chose the one that looks like an […]

I’ve been on a movie kick, so I did my carving while watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Cute movie. Anyway, I chose a smallish eraser that I have gazillions of, purchased years ago at the Dollar Tree (of course). It’s 1.5″ x .75″. For me, this little eraser is perfect for carving. […]

Yesterday, for day 9, I carved 3 stamps! They are all the same design. Let me explain why. I was doing my sketches while finishing up a movie, (500) Days of Summer of Summer. (P.S. I LOVED this movie! If you’re looking for a good flick, put this on the list.) At the end when […]

I chose another square eraser from the set I used on Day 2 of carving. I really like the shape with the rounded corners. When I doodle, I often draw circles really close to each other, and thought that might make a cool stamp. I liked the first sketch, but wanted to try another with […]

Even though I went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday, I got home and got started earlier than usual! YAY! This stamp came from a pack of erasers that all said something positive on them. I think they were for teachers to give as rewards to students. This one says (or used to say) WINNER! […]
