The Stamp Making Process

I can't seem to tear myself away from my desk these days.  I've got a secret project in the works, which hopefully I'll be able to share with you soon.

For now here's a quick look at the process behind the hand-carved stamps I've been making.  


I start with a drawing, which I cut out with a fine-point blade.


Placing the images on the rubber.



With a pencil, I trace the cut-outs to make a silhouette, then add the detail by hand.



Cutting out the individual stamps.



Carving the stamp.



The finished product: An inked stamp and the stamped image on paper.
