Carvin'



Stamp carvin' (or "printmaking") is my new interest.



It's really fast to turn drawings and tracings into reusable stamps for ink and paint. Linoleum blocks come in different sizes and the carving tool can be bought at art stores.


Adam made a bike stamp.


Briana made a logo stamp for her friend's midwifery business.

This Marimekko print gave me the jar idea.

I'm going to make more.

We love linoleum block prints! We tried to make one for our Christmas card last year, but we forgot you have to do word in a mirror image, so after all that work, it turned out saying, " !samtsirhc yrrem"Ha.
