Stamps!
I love carving them and stamping paper. It’s like a trip back in time to childhood.
My favourite to carve is the Intestine, below, as it has such nice curvy lines which are the best when carving.
I first learned to carve stamps from Kay Watanabe in a workshop at Hands On Brisbane. In that workshop I did a very crappy tree and a little mushroom but despite my initially bloody horrible job I did keep at it and started making my own stamps from my own versions of anatomy.
Below are the Kidney, Brain, Uterus, Intestine and Pelvis.
My favourite is without a doubt the Intestine. I’ve even printed onto shrink film and shrunk it down for a brooch and collar clips. I really need to make some of these for myself.
Meet my new stamps.
After getting several requests to make stamps for people I decided I should have them readily available in my shop.
I’ve been slowly adding all of the designs I currently have and I’m thinking up new ones.
Something I have not made for a while is Testes, in any form. Testes are quite a time consuming part to make. So I think a stamp is probably a good idea.
