It's no secret that I go through artistic binges or phases.  Right now I'm in a stamp carving phase.  Made this little beauty last week:

I snapped photos of some of the test prints so that you can see how the center detail evolved:

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I just got a notice from Amazon that your new stamp carving book will be here in about a month! I have been waiting for this it seems like forever. And I picked up my Scan N Cut 550 on Saturday….now I will be all set to design stamps, stencils and masks to make my work more authentic! Thanks so much Julie for all your inspiration!

  • Julie you are a genius with those carving tools. I love how you’re able to get such amazing detail. Every time I carve a new stamp I’m trying to channel your stamp carving energy. Like Ruthie, I’m excited about your new book. Thanks for sharing and happy carving.

  • Such a cute stamp! I’ve carved a few of my own small stamps from erasers, but I really want to try some bigger ones. What kind of rubber material do you use for stamp carving?
    I was curious if you know of any really good forums/communities online for art journal prompts and challenges? I really want to do more art journaling, but sometimes I am at a loss of where to start. I figured that maybe doing some challenges/prompts would help me get started. Any recommendations?
    Thanks Julie!
