In 2022, I am pushing myself to try a few new art things. This is the first one, thanks to SmartArt Box!!! Check them out smartartbox.com/
When attempting something for the first time, we often have high hopes and when things turn out to be harder than we expected, we can feel frustrated. Remember, no matter how long you're been doing art, allow yourself the time you need to learn! Check out my Instagram to see how I have already improved since filming this video.

Through out the whole time as a Printmaker: "Carve away from the Hand! Carve away from the hand!! Please! You *will* slice it open if you don't!" In all seriousness though, Relief printmaking (which is tactually what these stamps are) is a really easy way to get into Printmaking overall. It's the same way Woodblock printmaking is done as well. There is engraving with both wood and metal, but it's where the ink goes *inside* the lines and you print from there and you need something strong enough to make the print like a print roller. Relief at least you can use a wooden spoon or a thing to rub it on with.

I was totally thinking that as I was editing the video…. Doofus me…. Luckily that I didn’t. But yes cut away!

Valerie, you are so clever! Love this video! Love the enthusiasm and the very important reminder to give yourself time to learn. I tend to jump into new things and expect a masterpiece on the first try, and then get disappointed. Thank you for this encouraging video. And yes, you totally curated that art box. 😁

I never knew this is how you make stamps! This'd be something I'd love trying honestly.

I've done linoleum block printing to make cards before, but I haven't tried making stamps. It certainly looks like fun!

Odd that they didn’t give you Speedball printing inks and a brayer. The oil pastels work but I can see how they could get loosey-goosey.

dis a nifty box with a neat set of tools for making some smart pieces of art ;)

make the cat image slightly larger, will make getting the details easier and easier to carve away the spaces around the eyes. you can do it with those tools, but there are better carving tools out there to get details in the prints. but those tools work for a beginner since you dont want to spend loads of money on something you might not like. looked like you were having a lot of fun with this 😀

In high school ensemble, our director would have us warm up by singing scales to the words "aluminum linoleum, aluminum linoleum". It's now one of my favorite secret super powers.

That is a super power! Aluminum was also hard for me.

I'm laughing at myself right now. When I saw the title I thought you would make potato stamps like we did as a kid 🤣 This was definitely cooler than the 24 hour potato stamps. :p

Is this the January box, and is it still available? Also I was wondering what happened to your Alice in Wonderland piece? Love the video!

@ArtalaCarte 2 жыл бұрын

I think it was December’s box. I held it for 2022 so I could include it in my “Try New Stuff” goals. Alice is still in the works. I just haven’t gad time with the holidays to bring it out to work on. Soon though. Need to get a 100 character video up first.
