I wanted to try my hand at carving a slightly larger stamp. I took a 4×6 carving block and gave it a go:
At first I was nervous thinking that I should have shaved away the pink part of the drawing instead of the black part of the drawing, but I'm pleased with the finished result.
I also used a different carving block than I'm used to and it was a very different experience. Usually I use the white Speedball Speedy-Cut blocks. This time I used the pink Speedball Speedy-Carve block. The Speedy-Carve block says that it's guaranteed not to crumble. I have had a problem with some of my Speedy-Cut stamps crumbling on the really detailed edges, especially when I clean them. The Speedy-Carve block was definitely firmer. It was harder to make accidental nicks, which I liked.
I'd like to try doing an even more detailed image next time and I think the Speedy-Carve block is the way to go!
Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful stamp…I also love to carve, but find that somethings it’s hard to get details. Gotta try that block out 🙂
