Stampy Stamp Time

So i've started making some handmade rubber stamps. Used to do this alot for school when i was in highschool.
I'm using some soft lino block and speed ball, which you can get from most art supply stores (my favs here in Ottawa are Wallack's and De Serres), and i used plain ol' graphite pencil to transfer my image onto the lino.


Next i used the speed ball to carve around the design.

if you're too cheap like me to buy an ink pad, then you can just use some markers that you have around the house to colour on the stamp, and print!
Abe helped :)

New Things....

Hi everyone out there....

I'm Courtney and I like to make stuff. This will be my space to share things i create. I already have a blog for my artwork, but i wanted to start a blog dedicated to all my other, more craft-like artwork. a sort of creative outlet/inspiration landfill. at the moment i am working on some halloween costumes, so when they're done i'll post some pics!
