I wish I could like this twice; this is still the best video here on the correct way to make your own stamps and print effectively. Thanks for using the correct terminology and not saying, "so um, ok yeah" ten thousand times!

Even though I have no interest in stamp carving whatsoever, you just have such a cheerful and positive personality that I have to watch most of your videos! Keep up the great job!

I did a wood block carving when I was in High School - it was a carving of attached brick row houses - one of them was my house. Had all kinds of detail - building were 100 years old then! I used different color paints rolled on and printed the block several times forming a long row. It looked great! I won a prize, and my art teacher wanted to buy the block from me! :) LOL! oh, I should have kept up my art then!!

Something I know my printmaking professor did for his blocks to keep them from drying out as easy, he would put them in ziplocks with a paper towel with water and glycerin in it and it helped keep them springy a little longer. Not a total fix, but it's something worth trying!

@pattykelly6621 8 жыл бұрын

Love block carving and printing. Speedball also makes a water soluble oil ink that works great on paper and fabric and does not require heat setting of fabric. It's great stuff. thanks Lindsay!

@roseryan1542 8 жыл бұрын

I've only seen this process before. Didn't know that there was any such thing as making your own stamps until then . I love feathers and already have some stamps, but I liked seeing the tutorial. This maybe something for the future; the idea of drawing and making my own stamps is something I like.

@grittykitty50 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Lindsay, for a super informative video. By showing the process in real time, you've provided the necessary instruction to get started. Now, I have a realistic idea of what tools are needed and what my first designs will be.

Talk about synchronicity, I was looking at a piece of leftover 4' x 5' vinyl flooring; I noticed the back was of the same material if not similar to the lino carving material we used in H.S. I thought, hmmm I can make designs on that and bingo print up my own logos on bags. For the life of me I couldn't remember what the tools were called that we used. Today in my recommendations this video popped up. So yeah, synchronicity!

Years ago I purchased a set of wood carving tools from a craft store that was going out of business. I still haven't used them, but it never dawned on me to use them for stamp carving. I've had ideas to do some, but didn't realize I already had the tools to do them. Thanks so much. I agree with the other poster about "Weirich withdrawal," too! lol

Thanks for a very thorough and informative tutorial! Having carved on Linoblock years ago I found it very difficult and only completed one block, just didn't want to battle another. I must try one of these new rubberlike blocks. These seem to 'cut like butter', indeed an improvement over the linoblock. I so enjoy all your videos Lindsay!

You may already have a video on it but one explaining what each different head for Lino cutters actually does and how they should be used would be cool - I've not done a lino cut in 30 years and have considered it but don't really know how to get the best out of the tools. Love this lino alternative - I hated carving actual Lino at school! It took hours!!!

A paper recommendation for printmaking: Somerset Printmaking Paper from St Cuthbert's Mill (same folk who make Bockingford and Saunders Waterford watercolour papers) is really nice and great for stamping (it's in my forthcoming paper review) - if you tweet the st Cuthbert's mill folk, they seem pretty happy with sending people a sample pack with a roughly 6"x4" sheet of each of their papers or with 3"x3" pieces of all of their papers - just enough to decide if you like it and they send you all the weights and finishes and colours if you ask nicely. Really nice company to deal with.

Oh, I am so happy you did another stamping/carving video! I am looking forward to making my own stamps, and this seems like a wonderful way, and the items you used looked like it was not that hard...compared to say carving an eraser. The tools looked like they did a good job too! I am also very impressed that this company offers all that for the 50 dollar price. I checked out all the items on Amazon and it all came to just about 46$ before shipping. So they did great! I was curious what was the amount/size of the tubes of paint? When I priced it all, I figured roughly a 1.25 oz tube. If it's more, that's an even better deal. Do you also know if this company sells boxes individually, or only by a minimum amount subscription? I went to their site and found the older boxes up to May, but could not find the specific June box singly for sale. If they did have the lone June box without the commitment, they'd for sure have my business over Amazon! That is a good deal! =) Thanks for so carefully and precisely showing this demonstration, Lindsay! I loved it! =)
