How can I help?
Hey, I am working on a tutorial for carving stamps from erasers and I was wondering: is there anything in particular that you would like to know?
Also, because I want to try and include as much as I can, it is probably going to be a veeery long post, so maybe doing it in installments would be helpful? That way you can just skip the one(s) that you have less use for...
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I have had the pleasure (and the unintentional cuts in my fingers!) of carving a fair bunch of stamps, so if any of my experiences is of help to others, that would just be terrific!Labels: stamps

Finally! The birdie t-shirt!
I made this for my sister's birthday, and gave it to my parents to take with them when they went to the US. Which conveniently coincided with her birthday (Friday). So now she has it, and I can show it off.
I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but for some reason it just had to be that colour for my sister. Maybe because she lives in California, so she must have a tan which goes well with that colour! ;-)
This little fella is placed in the back and easily overlooked! Especially if you're in a hurry to put on your new t-shirt, which she was - I'm so happy she liked it. Yay!

Bird kick
I've been on a bit of a stamp carving kick lately. All birds - and a leaf. For a wee project I'm working on so I can't really get into the details at the moment... ;-)
Now I've got enough birds for the project and I'm experimenting with the colours. I can't make my mind up if I'm going to use different colours for each bird or just one colour. And I'm not sure that I'm completely happy with the colours I have, so I may have to wait to finish it until I get another colour. I think red would be nice with the orange and pink. The background will be yellow so I can't use that.
And here's a tip for ya: if you want to carve your own stamps from erasers (or anything else, I guess), using a lino carver is WAY better than a knife. Oi... I've had my mum's lino carver set (from the 70's!) in a drawer for ages, but didn't start using it 'till the other day - how silly is that?!
Right-o, off I go to work now. I just have to work today and tomorrow and then I'm off for 8 whole days. Yay!
