From time to time I grab some of the garbage rubber — i.e. rubber cut away during the carving process — and create "garbage stamps." It doesn't mean that the stamps *are* garbage, rather they have been created *from* garbage!
Here's my most recent batch:
The process is pretty much the same for each of the stamps: I take a scrap piece of rubber and trim it down to a shape or size I want to work with and then I attack it with my carving tools!
All in all, this entire collection of itty bitty stamps took me about two-and-a-half hours to carve and print. Pretty amazing! I know I say this every single time, but stamp carving is easier than you think!

Julie- I love all of the stamps you create. But I would really like to see how you store your stamps. Do you have an easy way to locate the specific stamp you want to use in a project??
Thanks!

This is really great that even the left-over bits can be created into lovely little stamps. You are such an inspiration. I do wonder how you are able to line up the littlest ones so evenly on your tag. Any advice about that?
As ever, thanks for the inspiration, Dorothy

Other than the name, I LOVE your hand-carved rubber stamps. Is there anything you CAN’T do?? Just love everything you make, carve, sew, paint, etc. I also love your enthusiasm.
I’ve kept my few scrap pieces of rubber & NEED to carve a couple stamps.
