These were fun to do! The paisley one at the top is a design from a tea box. The middle is just distressed stripes i sketched out. The bottom is a clip art image. All are carved on erasers.
This is one of my favorites! i was so happy that it turned out so well! This is another clip art image, and the block is the MasterCarve by Staedtler. (Dana - the poppies are on the other side! i'll get a pic of those up soon.)
Well, as always, thanks for looking! Hope everyone has an artful day!
Oh, I love the bird! And the eggs!
ReplyDeletethe eggs are gorgeous, and I love, love the paisley design one! did YOU USE THOSE DISTRESSED STRIPES ON THE CARD YOU SENT ME? i WAS WONDERING ABOUT THOSE TOO! (darn caps lock)
ReplyDeleteSo so artsy...
Thanks, ladies! Dana, i think i did use the stripes on your card.
ReplyDeleteThese are spectacular. Truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Seth!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! Wish I had discovered your lovely blog earlier! I've done lino carving but not rubber...I really want to give rubber ago now!
ReplyDeleteWow! Obviously it's been too long since I looked at your blog! These are wonderful!!!! I'm hiring you to help me with all my "oddball" stamping needs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeletegasp! Jess! These are wonderful!! I always do simple carvings as I am scared to do anything more intricate. I really want to tho!!
ReplyDeleteThanks,Lisa! i think your carvings are fantastic. i remember first seeing the ones you'd done a few years ago and feeling like i could never do that. When i first started carving last year, your work gave me inspiration and confidence to say, "Why now?". And i only tried more intricate because i didn't know better! i've had a few failures, but it's not as difficult as i thought it would be. And since you already have experience (more than me) i say go for it! i know you could do some awesome stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow! These look awesome and they make me want to get back into carving stamps!
