I’m working on carving some rubber stamps this week. In my usual fashion, I’m attempting something that’s a little beyond my reach. I haven’t practiced enough to be good at fine detail or small designs, but that’s exactly what these are. It’s a practice-on-the-spot sort of thing.
I’m getting a little tired of doing the same design over and over, but I’m determined to get it right. (And I think I’m getting there.) These will be part of some Christmas gift sets as well.
There’s more creative determination and do-it-as-you-go at kootoyoo, as always!
Yes…keep on keeping on I’m sure they will be lovely. I can’t wait to see.

Oh fun, I had a go at this a couple of weeks ago. I am sure you will have it perfected soon.

written on August 19th, 2010, at 7:55 pmi tried but came up with average results… went thing i didn’t have the right tools ?! your hook looks pretty impressive !
keep us posted !
I find some of these rubber blocks MUCH harder than others! I know a trades person shouldn’t blame their tools but I would urge you to experiment with different brands of rubber and even try lino (it’s easier than some of those rubbers). Lovely photo :) Kx
