Linocuts and carved stamps

Wow. Spectacular!!!

I discovered I don’t need ink pads with different colors. I’m just using markers!

Yeah. And it’s an easy way to do multiple colors on one stamp :+1:

I’m relatively new to the whole process of hand-carving stamps, but so far I’ve been enjoying the process! So yesterday I was looking through my stash and found one stamp that was one of my first attempts, and I wasn’t really neither using it nor liking the design that much, so I decided I’d rather try using the other side of the stamp (my rubber block was decently thick).
And because the fact I’m in fact was recycling something not otherwise used had taken a great deal of pressure off, I decided to have fun and carve a somewhat silly image
So in case you’re wondering what’s that, it’s a medieval painting of an oyster which I just couldn’t stop thinking about :sweat_smile:
It has a rougher look to it, but I still think it’s kinda fun

For some project I needed a nail - so that’s my latest stamp.


It might turn out to be multi-useful for all kinds of uses…

I needed it to put some nails into a manifesto. This is the envelope I used for sending the project:

The “manifest” stamp also is hand-carved, but I did it a while ago.

Yesterday we went to a nearby town and one of the things in our agenda was to check out a small exhibition about lighthouses, in the local archive building. There were other exhibitions there as well and we ended up looking through all of them. One was about a local woodcut artist called Manuel Cabanas.

There was no context about the artist at all, but a lot of the works were featured, and it was so impressive! He did engravings about the local people, sacred art and also portraits of important people, to be included in the books they wrote. Apparently he was self-taught! I was seriously impressed and plan to research him further.

Wow, woodcarving is so impressive! It’s great to see the work of those artists. Thanks for sharing!

So this is the latest stamp I carved. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it or if someone else who I thought of when making it likes it…

Did I carve another stamp inspired by a quirky medieval painting? I sure did :grin:

I don’t know how often I’m going to actually use it, but it could come in handy at some point, or so I hope. Also, I didn’t have a rubber block, so used an eraser instead, and it seems to be working just fine.
