I’m making some gifts for the holidays and decided to try lino printing. I drew and carved this stamp out as a first test run and I really love the results. Going to be making some more real soon!

Very nice work! I hope you'll post the results of your next batch 👍

Yes definitely! I have the next stamps carved out already, just need to start printing them (which is way more tiring than I thought it would be!).

Do you just buy a block of rubber to carve? Curious as it seems like something that might be up my alley!

[–] Mickey@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Yup! I got the Speedball Speedy-Carve pink blocks, the interchangeable carving tools from Flexcut and the Speedball soft brayer. For the ink I used the Speedball fabric ink. It was very fun going through the whole process!

There are cheaper options for the carving tools but the ones I tried were just not working for me so I opted for the more expensive Flexcuts and they were so worth it.
