Here's the sketch of a baby elephant, with the initials JB:
Now I need to afix him to a chunk of wood for a handle.
I definitely want to play with this stamp medium some more, maybe for a personal chop for my woodcut prints. ;-]

Letterboxing Stamp
Back to carving -- this time a letterboxing stamp for my sister. Thanx Lana Lambert of Pistoles Press http://pistolespress.blogspot.com/ for the chunk of EZ Cut to play with.
Here's the sketch of a baby elephant, with the initials JB:
Here's carving it -- I thought lino was like butter, but this stuff is scary easy.
And here's the little guy cleaned up (more or less).
Now I need to afix him to a chunk of wood for a handle.
I definitely want to play with this stamp medium some more, maybe for a personal chop for my woodcut prints. ;-]

Yay! I'm glad you like it! Yeah, it is scary easy to cut and can get away from you. It was hard for me to work with if I approached it right after carving a wood block because I was so used to the resistance the wood offered. Yours is coming along great!
Thanx Lana. It is fun.
Sweet little stamp!
You made it sound so easy I'm thinking I've got to try and make a stamp too soon.
Love your blog!

Thanx Aniko. Give it a try. It was fun. (And check out Pistoles Press above.) ;->
Hi Ellen,
I checked out Pistoles Press and I was blown away by her skill and wonderful line. It's equally inspiring and intimidating to see amazing talents and beautiful work when you are a beginner.
My first thought was Gosh her toad is incomparably better than my frog :)
