Dylan has had a little doggie blanket (stuffed head with body that is flat like a rug) that he got as a baby that he LOVES. I mean he will wait outside the washer until he gets it back sort of love. He draws these cute little picture of his Doggy and I had to use it to make a stamp using the new Undefined stamp making kit.
It reminded me of how I used to carve erasers to make stamps years before all the new beautiful professional images came to being. There are 2 tools included a narrow v shape cutting tool for details and a U shape for larger areas. They are
really well designed with comfort grips to minimize stress on my hands which I love. It comes with one large rubber piece with wood mounting adhesive foam pad and 4 pieces of wood to mount after finish.
This is a picture of Doggy I had Dylan draw on a piece of paper with pencil. I then took that image, put it on the rubber penciled side down and rubbed it to transfer the image. It will be a mirror image but that is ok because when you stamp it will be a mirror image again.
After I carved it out, I stamped the image I carved using Staz-On onto the little wooden block that fit it. and then mounted it on the wood. I did stamp it a couple of times on paper to make sure I got the image I liked. I did have to shave a little here and there to get a better image.
Now I am thinking angrybirds, R2D2, my mind is going wonky over all the possibilities......
