I. Can't. Stop. Carving.
I am a binger when it comes to art play and after not carving much, I'm in a stamp carving phase once again. I love how invigorated I feel about carving now. I've fallen in love with it all over again and that is a magical feeling!
I recently saw this image on instagram from Louise Nelson:
And it inspired me to carve this stamp:
(You saw a sneak peek of it in last Thursday's post)
It has a real Arts & Crafts (as in the architectural movement) feeling to it. So, I chose some appropriate colors for that movement and printed the stamp over and over again.
I love it! I can't wait to use it for greeting cards and maybe some fabric. What do you think? What would you use this stamp for?
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome Julie!

It’s a great stamp, how do you print with it? Do you use paints or proper printing inks?

I love this stamp! It is bold and expressive. I have never tried to carve a stamp. I think I will have to try.

Very cool stamp! After the holidays, I might have to try my hand at carving. One question, do you add a cling backing and use a block with your smaller stamps? I assume that with the larger stamps you bring the paper to them rather than the other way round.

I would stamp it on fabric and make a scarf. Than stamp it on fabric and either do embroidery, needle punch, or needle felt that pattern. It is wonderful. Also what about one of your famous stencils with that pattern?
