The video is up! What do you think? :oD
How to carve a rubber stamp tutorial.
Things I learned:
*The material is softer than I imagined, so I made some accidental cuts that overall can't be seen, but it was stressing at the moment.
I want to try with the white board and with an actual linoleum plate.
*The image will be mirrored, so plan ahead. This I knew already, but still surprised me at the end :oB
*I need a bit more ink for watercolor paper, and press a little longer.
*You definitely need time to work on this project; it took me the whole day carving it (well, off and on, while I had to do the regular summer/house activities) But is not a quick thing, you need to carve some time for it ;o)
*It is so much fun! (◔‿◔)

Looks great and great timing on your part as I have a linoleum block sitting on the table looking at me!!! I haven't done this in a long time! Thanks for the inspiration!!! Good job girl! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew where my carving tools were packed...I have about 20 boxes...and I did not pack them all. Beautiful tutorial and I love Speedball tools... Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteGreat stamp!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I should recommend this post to my gf.
ReplyDeleteWow, it turned out great! Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lot of work, but worth it! Stunning my friend ;o)
ReplyDeleteFantastic, love what you have made. If ever my hands get less shaky I will try it! I used to work a lot with lino cuts. Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt is a very good, the images explain much, but maybe you could activate some kind of translator with subtitles. Congratulations for the work. Saludos
ReplyDeleteThe translated subtitles in YT are horrible, they just say crazy unrelated things, it is really funny, but it doesn't make any sense.
DeleteThanks for the lesson, you're a good teacher. Have you tried sculpting? It seems you would also be good at that.
ReplyDeleteYes, I used to teach ceramics years ago, and I make polymer babies and fairies in my other blog, thanks!
DeleteMartha, this is simply amazing! It is an inspiration to try new things. I've done some simple foam carvings but nothing as complex as a face. Beautiful work and such an informative video. Also, I love how it looks with the color added.
ReplyDelete¡Bellísimo rostro! I love carving stamps, and you've just inspired me to try it again. Blessings!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing your video and loving the results. Happy PPF, Annette x
